“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 […]

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 […]

Tuscan Vineyard Sunset 6 x 8 oil on canvas
This is a new size canvas for me that I’m experimenting with. I like the look of it and the slightly larger size than the 5 x 7 makes it a bit easier to paint on. This petite painting would look stunning […]

“La Canada Memories - Oak Grove Park”
This one is not for sale but was a last Christmas gift to my daughter. But it wasn’t really practical for her to schlep it back on the plane to Northwestern U. so we agreed I’d get it framed up for her to take […]

Yesterday evening my husband and I went to the Huntington Gardens to see the members opening of a photography exhibit and I discovered when we got there, to my dismay, that I had left my camera at home. We arrived at the event at 5:30 - “golden hour”- and the light was fantastic. Upon leaving, […]

“Dreamy Drifting at Malibu Creek” - 11 x 14 - pastel on board
Today I had the pleasure of taking a workshop with master pastellist Bruce Trentham, and this was the result. I had missed a demo by him several months ago, so this was a good opportunity to see him at work. […]

“Laguna Beach Reflections (at Crescent Cove)”
12 x 16 oil on canvas
For all of your folks who visited me over the weekend at Sierra Madre, here’s how the painting turned out that I was working on when you stopped by.
I had a great time painting there and the cool scene seemed to help me tolerate […]

Here’s another recent painting of one of my favorite new scenic haunts - the harbor at Dana Point. This scene is just outside of the breakwater, not far from the Ocean Institute.
I’m tired but content today at the end of a long weekend. Tomorrow I begin work on […]

“Golden Hour”
14 x 18 oil on canvas
So here’s the other painting that was accepted into the California Art Club show at the Women’s City Club in Pasadena.
It represents a few moments just before sunset in California’s Central Coast, not far from Paso Robles. I am just thrilled to be in […]
