The Open Pomegranate – 5 x 7 inches – oil on canvasboard Yes, I know it is a little radical compared to yesterday’s more sedate persimmon and plumbago composition, but sometimes a girl’s just got to cut loose and do something different. I had purchased a few pomegranates to put in a still life arrangement [...]
Persimmon and Plumbago – 8 x 10 oil – Available I was coming into the house from the driveway today and saw that our plumbago shrub was covered with blue-violet blooms. It immediately struck me that those colors would be a good compliment to the yellow-orange persimmon I painted last night, and which had survived [...]
Persimmon Passion 5 x 7 oil Painted from life and still soaking wet. That’s why you’ll see little shimmery dots in the photo of the room light bouncing off the paint. With Descanso and the Redlands show behind me, I’m busy again getting ready for the art walk in our neighboring town of Montrose. Painting [...]
“Clocktower at Sunset -(University of Redlands)” – 11 x 15 watercolor Here’s another of my University of Redlands series – the chapel clocktower at sunset, framed by a Chinese silk tree (I think) and a deodar fir tree. In the late afternoon the light made the facade of the tower just glow. I pushed the [...]
“Sunset on the Quad” – (University of Redlands) 5 x 7 oil SOLD This is one of the paintings I did last weekend en plein air at University of Redlands, about halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. It was painted in the last 20 minutes of light of the day, when the colors are [...]

See more of my paintings on my website This little painting was painted plein air style at Huntington Gardens early one morning. The sun was climbing rapidly so I concentrated on painting [...]
“Call of the Desert” – 12 x 16 – oil on canvas SOLD This new painting – of an Inland Empire desert scene – will be one that I’ll display at the Redlands Centennial Plein Air show and sale this Saturday at the University of Redlands. It depicts a typical byway on the road to [...]
Fall Garden – 9 x 12 – oil on board A little plein air painting at Huntington Gardens – in a fall mood. In the foreground: mexican bush sage, backed up by red amaranthus. The green clump was another sage but I don’t know the name of the plant with the yellow foliage. I’ll try [...]
Desert Morning 5″ x 7″ oil My thanks to those of you who have sent such thoughtful emails recently – either asking questions about my painting practice or what it’s like to be a full-time painter juggling family responsibilities: your questions have given me the opportunity to reflect on what I’m doing, and your supportive [...]
Malibu Magic – 16 x 20 oil on canvas – Available This is another seascape which was painted for the Descanso show. I’m starting to unwind, now after all the activity and energy of the month. Tomorrow might actually be the first day that I’ll choose to “sleep in” which means a little later than [...]
