At the edge of the open ocean, this view takes in a sailboat approaching the Golden Gate Bridge.

I’ve painted a late afternoon troubled sky over the city skyline and sailboats.

The “Matthew Turner” is a beauty and at 132 feet it is the largest vessel I painted for the series. This view takes in the elegant wooden tall ship dockside in Sausalito. The Matthew Turner is a brigantine with a mix of rigging styles for enhanced speed and maneuverability. The ship to the right is the “Seaward.”

This painting takes in the tranquility of a quiet nook on San Francisco Bay that I think has a bit of a European look.

I am striving to catch the sense of glare on the water in this painting of gulls taking in the harbor scene.

Settling in for a serene Caribbean evening just off on Saint Martin.

In this painting I am taking in the activity along the Hudson River with the Statue of Liberty in the distance.

A dad and son launch a model boat in Central Park.

in this painting I am enjoying the Model Boat Pond in New York’s Central Park with a father and daughter.

This view takes in a Pacifica sunset with a traditional Polynesian sailing vessel in the distance. This image is from the visit by the Hakulea to the west coast in September of 2023. It makes me smile the Hawaiin name Hokulea roughly translates to “star of joy” … can’t get enough of that!
