Palm Oasis - 12 x 16 oil on canvas
2007 goals are here.
This time a year ago, I posted the following goals which I’ve tried to keep in mind through the months.
My recap and plans for 2008 are in bold.
1. Stay focused. My primary goal will be to continue […]
Idyllwild Snows - 10 in x 7.2 in - watercolor
Pasadena’s Colorado Street Bridge - 8 x 10 oil
SOLD
As the new year approaches, over a million people will make the pilgrimage to Pasadena, California for the Rose Parade. And perhaps one of our most elegant local landmarks is the Colorado Street Bridge, which I’ve painted several times this year and will no […]
Last year this time I posted a year round up of some of my favorite paintings and drawings.
Part 1
Part 2
I’m doing the same this year, and in a few days I’ll post a look back at the goals I set last January and some thoughts and goals for the coming year.

As I come to the conclusion of this winter series, I felt an urge to return to my roots in watercolor and to see how my experience of the medium has changed. As I have done in the past, I did no […]
“Winter Road” - 8 x 10 acrylic on canvas board
Today’s painting has an unusual origin. I wanted to do another snowscape - perhaps a winding road type of picture as I’ve done of some fall and spring scenes. But I lacked a photo reference to work from and there’s no snow close […]
“The Woods in White” - 8 x 10 - oil on canvas on board
High in the mountains above Los Angeles (near Big Bear) we are finally getting snow. Of course it’s the snowmaking equipment at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, but hey, we’ll take what we can get. I would love to ski again […]
9 x 12 acrylic on paper
Freshly fallen snow - a moment of quiet winter beauty. In this sketch I’m using acrylic in a watercolor manner.
I’ll write more later - things are busy right now.
