Pasadena Bridge - Summer Days
(Colorado Street Bridge)
8 x 10 oil on canvas
SOLD but I have other bridge paintings
This California landscape is one that is familiar to residents of Pasadena and the communities surrounding the Arroyo Seco. The Colorado Street Bridge , seen here looking northward, rises over the grassy fields that are now turning golden. […]

Evening Peace
12 x 16 oil on canvas
(Central California, Sierra Foothills oil painting)
This California oil painting celebrates the end of the day in Central California as valley oaks are silhouetted by the fading sun. The warm glow of sunset still lingers in the sky. Mist is already starting to form in the distant Sierra foothills, […]

Peaceful Valley
11 x 14 oil on canvas
While traveling over a mountain pass in Central California, I stopped to enjoy this vista down into a sheltered valley. Cattle were grazing among the dotted oak trees, enveloped in a late afternoon mist. The hillsides were still covered with wildflowers but the grass had begun to […]

This painting, of Pasadena’s Colorado Street Bridge in the setting of the Arroyo Seco, is one of my favorite renditions of the area so far. Because it is so close to my home, I can […]

Blue Heron Lake
9 x 12 oil on linen panel
This is another of the plein air paintings I did a month or so ago on our trip up through Central California. A small lake, with trees leaning down to touch the water. Yes, it was cold out there. Snow on the mountains and […]

Laguna Tide Pool
6 x 8 oil on canvas
SOLD
This small painting is a study for a larger Laguna seascape, which will probably feature several different rock patterns rather than just the one. It just felt too cluttered to put multiple rocks in such a small painting.
I’m back at the easel, getting ready for other upcoming shows. […]

Chapparal Trail
(Dunsmore Canyon, La Crescenta)
9 x 12 oil
I painted this scene a few years ago, and I’m revisiting it now, having learned a few different ways to see oak trees and to render their foliage. It’s a dusty chapparal trail leading out of George Deukmejian Park in La Crescenta up into Dunsmore Canyon.
We’re […]

California Wildflower Hills
9 x 12 plein air painting
oil on linen panel
A few months ago, after keeping an eye on the wildflower reporting sites, we took a trip up into the foothills of the western Sierras. The online sources were right - they really were really spectacular this year. I started […]

Spring to Summer in Fallbrook
9 x 12 oil painting on canvas
A country ranch road in Fallbrook, California
Interested in this painting? Please write me.
Here’s another little landscape inspired by my Fallbrook trip. There were several mornings when the marine layer had moved in and was cloaking the hillsides with a gauzy look. Around 8 o clock […]
