Carlsbad Flower Fields Study

Done today in the field ( known as Plein Air) at the beautiful flower fields in Carlsbad, CA.  An original study, which is something I have just decided to add to my website.  Please note these small studies,  are small originals.  I start almost all of my paintings on location and then I use these studies as references for my larger more complex studio work, which often takes weeks or even months to complete.  Some studies are never sold, some are sold after I've used them for reference for a larger painting and some just because I kind of like them just as they are and someone should have them, rather than sit in my studio.  People tell me, sometimes,  they feel the spontaneous little painting captures the moment so well, they enjoy them on their own.  You can decide. 

But you should know, they are studies, and not my studio work, of which prices will never decrease and most probably will increase in the future.  I have had many people wanting a piece, but just feel they can't afford it. Maybe now you can.  In this way, you can have a small original study, without having to spend beyond your budget.  I'm doing this to make pieces available and also very affordable, to anyone who really wants one of my originals, now can.
