This is part of my recent exploration into greater and greater abstraction while still capturing a sense of inner luminosity.  A difficult balance to be sure, but the results are magical.  This is oil on linen stretched 'gallery style' on deep 1.5' stretcher bars. With clean painted sides, this is suitable for handing as-is (no frame needed).

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.

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.
