The combination of mountains and sea int he Greek Peloponnese is just gorgeous. I painted this piece focusing on the activity in a small harbor near Kyparissi while enjoying pre-dinner cocktails with friends on the terrace of our rented apartment. What great memories.

I loved everything about painting the rocks above and below the water during my stay at Kavo Kortia. In this piece, I was trying to catch the colors of the sea just beyond the rocky pool in the foreground and the many colors of the rocks in it.

I painted this before joining my friends for a swim. I knew there were sheep in the brush up the hill from the apartment we’d rented. On this afternoon, they were guided to the bluffs over the water where they served as groundskeepers.

I enjoyed painting this little beach while in Greece. This was the spot from which my friends and I entered the calm water to swim, paddle-board and kayak. There were lovely sandy beaches nearby. Still I love the charm of this small rocky beach.

The Water Tower located in downtown Campbell gives the town an old-time charm and it was fun to sip a coffee on the sidewalk while painting it.

The viewer is on the edge with the beauty of the Pacific Ocean just beyond unstable cliffs. I’m drawn to the mix of emotions and nerves that creep up cliffside.

Each time I paint at the harbor in Princeton By The Sea it reveals a different character. On the spring morning I painted this, conditions were calm with sunshine that came and went. Here, I’ve captured the sunshine.

I was mesmerized by these native California Palms and their big skirts when hiking in Indian Canyons near Palm Springs. In this piece, I am striving to create that sense of distance while retaining the feeling of being enveloped by the palms.

I spotted this California native Western Redbud tree in full bloom on a bright sunny spring day at a park in San Jose. It was fun to try to catch the light airy feel of the tree and and the contrast between the reddish purple blooms and the all of the spring greens in the scene.
