As a continuation of my obsessive exploration of grand skies and extreme lighting conditions, this piece explores the experience of a remarkable and unique moment in time.

This little shack out on the end of an old fishing wharf caught my attention for a painting.  Oil on linen, painted plein air.

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.

This imagined landscape is a channeling of years of different painting experiences.  Of late I've been starting paintings with only vague mental images of where I want to go.  Much as authors describe how characters they've created later take over and write the story themselves, these paintings take on a life of their as they develop.

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've been pushing my work further and further towards the abstract.  I'm after deconstructing the landscape, while still capturing a luminous quality of light.  This combination require a fine balancing act, but when it works I think it creates something very special.

I painted this from Treasure Island looking back at the city on a crisp clear morning.

This is oil on linen mounted on gatorboard.  I'm selling this unframed.  If you like to discuss framing options, give me a call.

On special days, as the sun moves to the horizon, the breaking waves catch the light in spectacular ways.  If you've been lucky enough to stay late to 'catch the show' you know how magical this can be.

This is oil on linen on a gallery wrapped canvas (1.5 inches deep).  Suitable for hanging without a frame.

This is part of a series painted largely from memory channeling my inner memories and emotions.  Titled 'At Peace' because I was in a meditative state as I worked on this piece over many days building and refining the layers of paint that have resulted a a magical glow that emits from the canvas.

This is on a 1.5 inch deep museum wrapped canvas.

This is part of a new body of work where I've been channeling my years of plein air location painting into larger studio pieces done largely from memory. These bold works are representational while incorporating abstract-like elements. The results draw from our memories to generate a shared sense of experience.

This is a larger reimagined version of a piece I painted (and sold) during the Carmel Art Festival.

This painting is done in 'high key', where no shades are very dark at all and all the colors have been shifted up towards a lighter value.  This gives the painting a wonderful sense of vibration and light.  Hence the title.

With the sun going down, the surf catches backlit lighting and becomes illuminated.
