“Let’s Play” - 8 x 10 acrylic on canvasboard - $125 unframed
A few days ago, at an art gathering, one of the people mentioned that a local art club was having a show on the theme “Americana” and invited me to submit something. I realized that it was too late […]

“White Oleander Trail” - 8 x 10 oil on canvasboard
This is the second in my ongoing series of “Trails of La Canada-Flintridge.” Eventually I’d like to paint all of the interesting byways that criss-cross our little town, winding along back yards and horse corrals in this distinctly suburban-semi-rural area. This part of […]

“Lemons and Silver” - 8 7/8″ x 7 7/8″ - oil on masonite - $100
This week’s everyday matters challenge was to draw something yellow - and I had been meaning to paint some lemons in oil for some time - so this seemed like a good opportunity. Fortunately, being a Californian, […]

Arroyo Shelter” - 8 x 10 - oil on canvasboard
When I take a walk through the Hahamongna wetlands area in the nearby arroyo, I love to look at the various forms of short shrubbery and small trees that are home to so many kinds of wildlife. Late in the day, rabbits […]

SOLD

The purpose of Ebay’s monthly Nibblefest is to generate interest and publicity for our works and the person with the most unique bids from different bidders is the winner. For this reason, it’s good to keep the price in a […]

“Flint Canyon Trail” - 9 x 12 oil on canvasboard
Graduations and reunions are completed (joyfully) and we are catching up after all the partying and celebrating. Here are our son and daughter, who will be having her own MBA graduation next year.
So, it was time for me to get back to painting, and new watercolors, […]

“Descanso Camellia” - Approx 15 x 11″ - watercolor on paper
This is probably the largest floral piece I’ve done so far - and I enjoyed the process very much. Essentially it’s no different from working small except I have to stand back more frequently and use larger brushes to avoid getting too many picky details. […]

14.5″ x 10″ “Teahouse Spring” - watercolor on paper
I painted this today from a photo I took earlier in the year of Descanso Garden’s Japanese Teahouse in full springtime array. A few days later a sudden storm took away all the cherry blossoms. But it was glorious while it lasted.
My objectives here […]

This wasn’t one of the two paintings I’m working on this weekend, but I wanted to warm up with a little portrait exercise, so I did this from a photo I took at the Festival of Books a month or so ago. I don’t know who the woman is, and I changed her face […]

Alberta Landscape - near the Bragg River - 8 x 11 watercolor
Painted as a quickie activity for a Wet Canvas weekend painting/drawing event - an experiment in abstraction. Perhaps I’ll get some good sleep tonight - I hope.
The reference photo was in this thread: http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=425814
My objective here was to keep it loose […]
