“A Touch of Home” – oil on canvas – 12″ x 16″ First of all, welcome to all the new readers that I’ve told about my blog in the past few days – gentle folk who have passed through our gallery and left me with wonderful memories and stories. I hope that you’ll find the [...]
“Desert Hills” – 5″ x 7″ pastel The colors of the desert near Palm Springs provided the inspiration for this small pastel painting, which I worked on today. It was quite gray and drizzly today at the show, but it didn’t seem to dampen the spirits of our visitors. Just to give you an idea [...]
“Under Autumn Skies” – 11 x 14 oil on canvas SOLD This was the painting I worked on yesterday at Descanso Gardens’ Carriage House Gallery. I did a good part of it during the day while I gallery-sat, then finished the rest at home in the evening. The place is the upper Arroyo Seco, north [...]
“Azalea Spring” 5×7 oil on board Today I enjoyed visits from Ginny L. and Louisa M. of our Wednesday morning paint out group, as well as from Nan and her friend Barbara, two other art buddies. One of our son’s friend’s mother dropped by as well, so I had a wonderful time socializing and painting [...]
“Onion and Peppers” – 5″ x 7″ oil Yesterday, my “Blackberry Summer” still life painting found a home with a collector, so I painted another little vignette in the same still life genre. It’s soaking wet, which is why the top of the painting is glistening from the light shining on it. When this is [...]
“Winging Home” 16 x 20 oil on canvas (Zuma Beach – Malibu) SOLD Today was a wonderful day in so many ways. The reception took place as planned and I had the opportunity to visit for awhile with friends old and new. My college roommate, Bobbi, came with her husband and mom and we have [...]
“On Descanso Pond” 5 x 7″ oil on gessoed board SOLD There is a large pond (or a small lake) at Descanso Gardens where migrating birds stop to rest. Turtles swim in the water and herons are commonly seen wading in the distance along the far shore. A large white goose seems to be the [...]
“September Clouds” – 11 x 15 watercolor on paper – plein air I couldn’t imagine a more picture perfect day than the one I had today. Although there was the suggestion of a weather front on the way, the cumulus clouds merely circled our little valley, putting on one of the grandest display of cloudage [...]
Golden Days – a highway near Lompoc – 12 x 16 oil on canvas SOLD This painting will be used in the movie “So We Bought a Zoo,” starring Scarlet Johansen and Matt Damon – Christmas 2011
“Windswept” 18 x 24 oil on canvas This new painting was finished just a few days ago, and will be in the show at Descanso Gardens, now just two days away. It’s my favorite painting, so far, for a few reasons. For one, it’s the largest oil painting I’ve attempted and probably represents the most [...]
