Completed en plein air end of August 2009. I go to paint with my plein air groups often and this was scheduled at Heisler Park in Laguna Beach. I liked the way the waves flowed in a curvy fashion towards the coastline with the palms jutting out, th...

Painted en plein air at Doheny Beach, California. I went to one of my art association's annual picnics here and there was a quick painting competition. I stood out on the beach and looked back towards the picnic area and felt it cast an air of a tr...

I painted this little girl from noticing her on the beach recently, she had all the elements of the perfect little girl in her young innocence. Price of $200 includes a heavy dark frame. If you would like to purchase it without a frame, the price i...

Painted en plein air at Crystal Cove. The weather and light could not have been better. This is reminiscent of a dreamy beach day with a cluster of beachgoers. Price includes a darkwood frame. This image appears much darker on some monitors th...

I used every fundamental of art to the nines on this large piece. It is a culmination of many workstudies, sketches, analysis and dreams, not forgetting the passion that went into painting this. I had a vision one night of blue waters with reflecti...

I began a new series of French scenes, this is a man wearing his beret walking along the Isle of Saint Louis next to the Seine River. I loved how the trees form a maze of values above the man. The trees gradually get lighter, the sidewalk is dark i...

I had to paint this scene from my adventure to the Napa Wine Country several years ago. The digital image I captured was my reference as I just had a whim to create my own artistic rendition of it this past week. I studied the colors and chose anal...

This is an exhibition piece made in my studio for a show in Northern CA in the spring. It is of hybrid daffodils with yellow centers, very delicate white petals that absorb the light, hence the name. I wanted to give the viewer a sense of mystery w...
