Painted from views from Bernal Heights in San Francisco.  Continuing my exploration of the line between abstraction and inner luminosity, this piece furthers the progression that has emerged over the last few years.  Oil on stretched linen.  This is on deep 1.5 inch stretcher bars with painted sides.  Suitable for hanging as-is for a more contemporary look.

Last light catching the top of the mountain range.  Moments like this last just seconds, but can burn into your memory for a lifetime.  Oil on linen on a 1.5 inch deep canvas with clean painted edges.

Glowing vibrant skies have been the subject I'm most drawn to in this body of work.  This piece continues my exploration of this subject, juxtaposing purple clouds against an orange sky.  I integrated water into the foreground largely so that I could reflect the sun and balance out the composition.  Done from memory, this piece was completed over a number of painting sessions as the image slowly emerged from the canvas.

This imagined landscape is a channeling of years of different painting experiences.  Of late I've been starting paintings with only vague mental images of where I want to go.  Much as authors describe how characters they've created later take over and write the story themselves, these paintings take on a life of their as they develop.

I had been out on a long day painting, when on the way home I came across this expansive view.  I pulled over feeling exhausted, but the view was some inspiring (and it kept geting better as the sun was going down) that it gave me a second wind and the energy to setup and paint - and I'm so glad I did.

This house has the most amazing garden.  Two years ago I passed this spot and made a mental note to return to paint the scene.  I tried to get back that year, but I was too late.  The blooming season is relatively short, and when I passed this spot this year I immediately went back to my studio, grabbed my gear and returned to paint knowing just how hard it is to get the timing right.

I picked this unusual long format (8x20 inches) to get the feel of the long narrow garden along the side of the properly.  This gives the piece a very unique quality.

This is the largest piece I've done completely plein air (outdoors) to date (24x30 inches).  I love how it turned out.

I had a number of consecutive days available with fantastic weather projections, so I took it upon myself to try to work a large piece.

I have a blog entry describing the creation of this piece, which you can find here: http://timonsloane.com/blog/painting-large-format-plein-air-outdoors
