"High Above The Surf" 10x8 Oil


One of my favorite drives is Hwy 1 up the California Coast towards Big Sur and Carmel. On a clear day, there are some great locations to stop and take in the views. This scene is looking south towards San Simeon.

"The Last Light On The Pier" 5x7 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord


This past Summer's cloudiness did have some advantages. When the sun did come out, I sure appreciated it more. This was one of those days when the sun finally peaked out in the late afternoon before sunset.

San Pedro 10x8 Oil


I felt the need to get out of the studio and paint on location so this morning I painted on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
I was immediately attracted to several scenes near this location but this one spoke to me the most.
This Sunday there is a Pastel exhibit and reception from 3pm-7pm at the Colortec Gallery in Torrance. I will be bringing my latest paintings. The show will be up until October 10, 2010.

"Where Roots Grow Deep" 18x24 Oil


I have been working on this piece periodically for well over a year. I have added some things and changed others. It has been a process of listening and waiting to see where the painting itself wanted to go, rather than me imposing my will upon it. It has morphed into quite a new and different painting since it began. Now I can leave it alone as I am quite satisfied with it.

"The Heart Of The Valley" 20x16 Pastel


This painting is about combining subjects I enjoy working with. Wine country and backlighting. It was originally inspired by time spent in both the Santa Ynez Valley and the Sonoma Valley.
