I painted this piece in the morning along the Santa Barbara coast.  The ocean was calm and soothing on this particular morning, with a beautiful quality to the light.

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

This beautiful little painting is an oil painted on a inch-and-half think wooden block.  It is framed in a white floater frame with a black interior. 

Big breakers on the coast always makes for an exciting day of painting.  The challenge of trying to capture the constant movement and variety never gets old.

This is a plein air piece done in oil on linen mounted on a cradled mastonite panel.

On comission, I took a 2 day trip down to Carmel to paint a particular scene.  In the afternoons I took time to paint some different locations, including this piece that drew my attention with the glow of the rocks in shadow.

This is oil on linen mounted on gatorboard. 

One morning on the coast I found myself socked in by fog.  I started driving south, and eventually I found a hole in the weather. The day just started to open up as I was painting, revealing the most beautiful and fleating lighting effects on the cliffs.

This is a studio piece done from studies from that outing.  It is oil on stretched linen canvas.

I painted this along 17-mile drive in Pebble Beach at a famous overlook called "Ghost Tree".

Oil on board.  Signed lower right and back.

Oil on a solid wood 1.5 inch thick block, this piece is mounted in a beautiful yet simnple white floater frame.
