Peace Rose Painting 8 x 10 oil on canvas SOLD Here’s another in my rose series – this time a close up in a more realistic style. I love impressionism, but I wanted to challenge myself to do a more realistic painting from life, and this was the result. Now for the taggage 5. When [...]
Cabo San Lucas Seascape Oil Painting 16 x 20 oil on canvas I’ve been working on a large commission of this same scene (in a 24 x 30 inch size) for a lovely client … and still have a few areas that I’m finishing up. In order to have something to paint over this past [...]
Yellow Rose 6″ x 6″ oil on canvas on board Available If it’s not too late, I’m going to head over to the nursery today to see if they still have a few bare root roses left to plant. I do love roses and grow them in my yard. My favorites are Climbing Peace, Just [...]
Peaceful Stream 6 x 8 inches oil on canvas This small painting evolved as a study as I experimented with some ways to work with texture and color in clouds and reflected water using a springtime color palette. Although I do most of my paintings of specific places, sometimes I work with the landscape in [...]

More of my Newport Beach Paintings Sunset Surf (at Newport Beach, CA) 8 x 10 oil on linen on board SOLD During those times of year when the landscape has shed its fall color, and before spring color appears, sunsets continue to charm the colorist in me. Newport Beach is one of my favorite subjects [...]
Laguna Romance 8 x 10 oil on canvas on board SOLD Several of my friends have been incorporating palette knife techniques into their work, or painting entirely with the knife. I thought it sounded like fun to experiment with, so I took one of my photos with a lot of clouds that I thought would [...]
Sycamore Meadow (Placerita Canyon Nature Center) 9 x 12 oil on canvas on board The brilliant colors of fall give way to the softer colors of winter. In the last transitional days, some color remains on the trees, but the landscape takes on soft and refined hues. Today the rainstorms are subsiding, and I’m optimistic [...]
Descanso Rose Garden Pathway 8 x 10 oil on canvas on board Available for sale. This painting has evolved through the years. It started as an oil sketch a few years ago, but I put it away, dissatisfied. Today, with a few miles under my brush, I took it out again and revisited the subject. [...]
