SOLD Tournament House Rose Garden painting (Home of the Tournament of Roses Association, Rose Parade organizer) 11 x 14 oil Painted on commission This new painting is intended as a Christmas gift from the lovely woman who commissioned it, for a very special gentleman. The rose garden was where they first met. Built in 1906, [...]
“Descanso Gardens Rose Garden” (with roses and crepe myrtle) 12 x 16 oil on canvas This is one of the paintings I’ll be bringing to Descanso Gardens for the opening of my solo exhibition on Nov. 2.

White Roses (study) 6 x 8 inches oil on plein air panel Iceberg roses are among the most popular white rose varieties in California (perhaps in other US states, too.) These perennial plants have a carefree look about them, somewhat different from the formality of other hybrid tea roses. I decided to paint this group [...]
Huntington Gardens Tea Room and Rose Garden Oil Painting 11 x 14 inches – oil on canvas This is a plein air painting that I did a few years ago, and somehow it escaped being photographed and posted to my blog. A recent conversation prompted me to revisit it and I discovered that it was [...]

Yellow Rose with Leaf Shadows 5 x 7 inches pastel on board On the occasions that I paint in pastel, I mostly do landscapes. But I thought it would be an interesting experience to do a study of a rose using that medium. In retrospect, it might have been a little easier if I had [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
