"Remembering Sonoma" 16x20 Oil

Sold
This painting was previously posted a while back. As I thought of memories and my past experiences there, I made some necessary changes. It has now become quite a nostalgic piece for me. I suppose many of my paintings are nostalgic but this piece has became more about the feelings that come up when I re-live memories both recent and past of being in the Sonoma Valley.
This painting has been revised. Please see post on May 11, 2010.

"Storm Building" 7x5 Oil











Sold

On my way home from a recent trip to the eastern sierras, I thought of this painting. At the time, the clouds were not quite as dramatic as I have painted them and it was mostly overcast. The sun would come out for very brief moments to light up certain small areas of pasture and trees with a beautiful light. It was my hope to recreate this memory through this painting and perhaps a larger one.

This piece was painted on an Ampersand Gessobord
