"Showers Over Crowley Lake" 8x10 Oil

 
This is a small black and white study for a possible larger painting. It was quite fun keeping it simple and without any color.

"Made In The Shade" 11x14 Oil


 
 
Years ago I painted this with pastel. I enjoyed it very much and felt it was time to try it as an oil painting.

"A Moment Of Thunder" 11x14 Oil

800.
 
This painting was inspired by one of the recent large wave swells we have had here in California. I watched as the whitewater would explode off of the jetty with a thunderous crash. It was an awesome display of nature's power. This painting is my attempt to
show that experience.

"North Of Mammoth Lakes" 11x14 Oil

800. Sold
 
This scene is about 10 minutes north of the town of  Mammoth Lakes in the Eastern Sierras of California. In December there was very little snowfall creating the patterns of snow in the foreground field. In recent days, there have been storms that brought a couple of feet of new snow on the ground and more in the mountains creating a completely different landscape and no doubt more inspiration for new paintings.
