Early morning in one of California's most beautiful spots.  Paint on location.  Oil on linen mounted on gatorboard.

As I continue to explore deconstructing light and the landscape, I continue to find greater and greater possibilities in the liberties I can take while still capturing that inner luminosity that is always so elusive.  This piece is a fine example of an abstract exploration can still glow with inner light.

This is oil on stretched linen.  It's on gallery wrapped 1.5 inch deep stretchers, and looks great hung unframed (as-is).  This can also be framed.

I painted this lovely little piece on a quite day after a big storm.  The ocean was calm, and the glare off the waves caught my attention.

This is oil on linen mounted on board (gatorboard).  It is being made available unframed.

I hiked down some cliffs and some distance to capture this view along the coast.  My hike out was reflected by the other intrepid sole who came out as far, and I had the pleasure of working him into the composition.

This is oil on board (gatorboard), and is being made available unframed.  Call to discuss framing options.

This piece is on unmounted linen canvas.  It comes unframed.

Please contact me if you'd like to discuss framing options.

I was out painting on the coast all day, and as the started to set it started to light the foam off the waves with a magical glow.

Then someone climbed out on the rocks to get a better view, and it put the whole scene in a new perspective.  The scale of the breakers and the magic of the moment were both amplified.  This is a moment I won't soon forget.

This painting is on a museum wrapped canvas suitable for hanging.  It does not come with a frame.  Contact me if you'd like to discuss framing options.

This scene captured my attention with the distinctive ripples caused by the shallow sandbar just below the water's surface.
