“Precious” Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppy 6 x 6 oil on canvas panel SOLD (please inquire about other animal paintings) I saw this little pup last weekend and begged the owner to let me take a picture. I always enjoy doing animal studies and the challenge of fur and dramatic lighting made it a special [...]
Pomegranate Study 8 x 10 oil on linen panel (commission) SOLD This pomegranate painting, a larger version of an earlier small study, was painted for a client who was looking for something bright and juicy for her dining room. I was happy to paint this larger one. Maybe one day I’ll paint it even larger [...]
Under the California Sun 9 x 12 oil on linen panel SOLD This new painting was influenced by some studying of tonalists such as George Inness, and my continued explorations using a more monochromatic color palette in some works. Yes, I still love my saturated colors, but there are different atmospheric effects and moods that [...]

Cool season bloomers include snapdragons, iceland poppies and pansies, which are predominately purple, violet and shades of yellow, cream and white. I enjoyed painting this loose collection of forms as a study [...]
Tin Roof, Bishop 9 x 12 oil on panel Just north of Bishop, California there is a ranching area where the barns have tin roofs that have weathered wonderfully through the years. This scene attracted me as a subject to paint, but the cool light of the afternoon I was there didn’t appeal to me [...]
Sierra Foothills 8 x 10 oil on board This scene is from the foothills of the Sierra, approaching Yosemite from the western side. Oak covered hills and golden grasses make for a limited palette scene. Most of this was painted with ultramarine and prussian blue, yellow ochre, and small touches of alizarin to create the [...]
