“This Golden Land”
10″ x 20″ oil on canvas
Available
This painting represents my first experience in painting a panoramic scene, as opposed to rectangular canvases I normally use for studio paintings which are more in a 4:3 aspect ratio. You’d have to see it in person to see how it captures more of the […]

Peaceful Planet - 8 x 10 oil on canvas on board
Huntington Beach Sunset
The sea has always been a source of strength and serenity for me, and it remains one of my favorite subjects for photography and painting. The colors change with the moment, reflecting the beauty of our natural world.

The Tender Sea - Carpinteria at dusk
6″ x 8″ oil
Available.
The subtle colors after sunset were the inspiration for this seascape study of Carpinteria. The delicate hues invoke a quiet contemplative mood. No crashing surf here, just the waves delicately touching the shore. California’s ever-present eucalyptuses frame the shoreline. Even tossed by salty wilds, they prevail.

El Molino Afternoon
11 x 14 oil on board
Strong sunlight streamed through the alley just south of the Pasadena Playhouse in the Playhouse District.
I enjoy the feeling of painting on board. Although it lacks the “spring” of stretched canvas, the paint glides on smoothly and can be pushed around in different ways.
Thanks […]

Click the image to see it actual size.
I did this study today to practice painting with a very limited palette and to make a plan for a larger painting . Want to guess what three colors I used? (Not including white.)

Santa Barbara Meadow (at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden)

Whenever we visit Santa Barbara, I try to make some time to visit their beautiful botanic garden which features native plants in natural settings. Last week my husband went to a seminar up in Santa Barbara and I tagged along to take […]

By the Silvery Moon - 9 x 12
Watercolor on Yupo
My friend Brenda Yarborough has recently been painting on Yupo and we were talking about it today and what a tricky but fun medium it is. Yupo is a plastic product in a sheet (like paper) that was developed for the printing industry. […]

Foothill Pines
6 x 8 oil on canvas
A gentle road winds through California’s Gold Rush Country, where the oaky foothills give way to the first pines of the Sierras. The morning fog lifts in a slight breeze to reveal the radiant hills of mid summer. A moment of pure tranquility!

Sunset Magic
12 x 16 oil on canvas - California impressionist landscape
My latest larger sized landscape draws inspiration from the works of George Inness - a Hudson Valley painter who gradually evolved into an impressionistic style (even though he always rejected the term “impressionist” when it was applied to him.) I have been […]
