Celadon Morning
12″ x 16″ oil on linen panel
I painted this from a hill above Trinidad California. This area has become one of my favorites anywhere. Here, I’ve tried to catch the celadon cast of the water on a quiet September morning.

Incoming
9″ x 12″ oil on linen panel
As I was setting up my painting gear the fog dissolved leaving a perfect day for painting and enjoying the rocky shore at Pacific Grove. There was just enough time to capture the image before the rocks gave way to the incoming surf and rising tide.

Morning Stillness
9″ x 12″ oil on linen panel
In painting this scene, I was trying to capture the variations of color and patterns in the water. And, if you look very closely, you may see the dragonflies that I included. They were so entertaining to watch as I painted.
Colorful Capitola
12″ x 12″ (sold)
I painted this plein air piece on a beautiful winter morning that offered a mix of clouds a few raindrops and breakthrough sunshine. I love the way Capitola has retained its own quirky character and hoped to capture some of that in this painting.
Waiting at the Bend
6″ x 8″ oil on linen panel
This plein air painting was painted at a beautiful spot along the Merced River in Yosemite known as Devil’s Bend.
Berkeley Marina
9″ x 12″ oil on linen panel
This was painted in early March at the marina in Berkeley. This was the last plein air painting I did before pandemic related stay-at-home orders went into effect. This boat was used for tours in San Francisco for 40 years.
Ayala Pair
11″ x 14″ oil on panel
Angel Island (in the San Francisco Bay) is one of my favorite spots. In this painting, I was attracted to a snug pair of boats in the Ayala Cove Harbor. This piece was exhibited as part of the California Art Club’s Juried Exhibition “Bay Area Parks” in 2019.
