Owens Valley Morning 12 x 16 inches oil on canvas The eastern Sierra Nevada is a place of many different textures, moods and biomes, depending where you look. Just a short distance from some of the cottonwood groves I’ve painted is this desert like area with sagebrush and other desert wildflowers. Being an Angeleno, I [...]
Sierra Willows 14 x 18 oil on canvas SOLD More Sierra Nevada paintings here Although fall had come to the Sierras, there were still late wildflowers blooming on the banks of the Owens river. Young willows were turning yellow, glittering with each passing breeze. What attracted me to this scene was the contrast of the [...]
Hansen Dam Willows 14 x 18 oil on canvas Like most seasons in Southern California, signs of the season don’t follow a predictable pattern. This, for example is what early winter looks like at Hansen Dam, about 15 minutes from our house. To most people it would look like fall. But no, in fall the [...]
Eaton Canyon Springtime 16 x 20 oil on canvas SOLD to a collector from Pasadena Interested in this painting? Please write. This spring, be sure to mark your calendar to visit Eaton Canyon in Altadena when the wildflowers are in bloom. There has been enough rain that we should probably have a good show again. [...]

Aspen Grove in the Sierras 11 x 14 oil on linen Interested in this painting? Please write. Wow, where did the week go? I’ve been so busy doing various art marketing and selling tasks that I haven’t made time to post. That will be remedied very soon. This is another in my ongoing Sierra fall [...]
Pomegranate Orchard 11 x 14 oil on linen SOLD (commission) Write Me This was a very interesting project to do, and one which I thoroughly enjoyed. A woman wanted a painting of a pomegranate orchard to give to a loved one for a Christmas present. The man had grown up in a middle eastern country [...]
“Owens River – A good day for fishing” 14 x 18 oil on canvas SOLD to a lovely couple relocating to Montana This new panting features what I’ve been told is one of the best fishing spots on the Lower Owens River. It’s near Highway 168 close to a place known to the locals as [...]
Across the Arroyo 9 x 12 oil on canvas on panel (The Colorado Street Bridge, Autumn in the Arroyo Seco) New, and available. Yes, more sycamores. It’s the time of year when I want to capture them in all their glory, and if I can include my favorite bridge, all the better. Just looking at [...]
