Oil on linen mounted on gatorboard

Oil on linen mounted on gatorboard.

I painted this on a trip to Tomalas Bay near one of the oyster shack restaurants.  I love this area.  It feels like a trip back in time, and this this old farm out on a private peninsula looks like it probably witnessed the gold rush here in California.

I was drawn to this scene with the combination of both stillness, movement and reflections in the water.  This is a scene near my home in Palo Alto, CA.

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.

I painted this over the California 'winter', when the rains bring out the wildflowers.  Classic valley view with distant hills visible.
