Sonoma Downtown.

These 3 are large 5 x 4 ft oil paintings. One of the Sonoma downtown looking towards the hills was done during the Plein Air festival in Sonoma, California. I wanted to make an impact and spend the week challenging myself, to not only capture the difficult architecture and perspective, but also the surrounding beauty of Sonoma in general. I spent the better part of 5 days with this massive painting on the corner of the Sonoma Plaza working tirelessly firstly trying to just fill the canvas and as it doesn't look like much until the last few days. I was happy at the end of the week, and it actually came together, and the townsfolk got to see my unique patience, dedication and process.
