No Mail Today - 8 x 6.25 - watercolor sketch
I painted this little vignette this morning as a way to get some art practice no matter what the rest of the day would include (chores, an art association meeting and demo, car-shopping, housework, etc.) I’m very disciplined about making sure that […]
Avocado & Leaves - 5 x 7 oil
Avocados from our overburdened tree - guacamole coming soon! This was painted from life this morning with actual sunshine streaming in my studio window!
I’m feeling better - finally - things are looking up.
“San Pasqual Stables in the Morning” 9 x 12 - oil
SOLD
This morning I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the San Pasqual Stables in South Pasadena, California for a group paintout. The location was challenging because I don’t frequently do architectural subjects, and morning light is hard to catch because it changes so fast. […]

If you’re a regular […]

“A distant view” - watercolor sketch on paper
The cold and flu season has left me a sniffling, coughing, Vicks-laden mess, so I’m trying to not exacerbate the situation by inhaling copious quantities of odorless mineral spirits without a window open for ventilation. (It’s cold outside.) So instead, I’m keeping warm, drinking […]
