In this plein air painting, I am striving to catch the raking early morning light on a side street in Almaden Valley.

Oils
Springtime At Pillar Point
12″ x 24″ watercolor
The bluffs north of Half Moon Bay are one of my favorite places for fresh air and great views. For a brief time each year the bluffs are splashed with the fresh colors of spring.
Red Sails Halong Bay
11″ x 14″ (private collection)
In this piece, I sought to convey a sense of sunshine on a humid day as this red sailed junk traversed Halong Bay amongst its distinctive rock formations.
Ano Nuevo Bluffs
18″ x 24″ (sold)
I painted this studio piece of a place I love along the central California coast as a commissioned painting for a collector who had been attracted to my plein air painting of the scene.
Bean Hollow Beach
6″ x 8″ oil on linen panel
I painted this at a favorite Pescadero area beach with a friend I hadn’t seen in months when we were all still 10’+ apart and masked up at the height of Covid. Still … so special to chat, paint and watch for off shore dolphins.
Garrapata Swirl
9″x11 (private collection)
I love the Big Sur cliffs in Garrapata State Park. In this piece, I am chasing the feel of the fresh air and the sound of the surf.
Susan Reflects

Susan has been a much loved and admired friend for decades. This was painted from a photo taken while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Pescadero Surf 2
9″ x 12″ (private collection)
This piece began as a plein air piece painted at one of my favorite spots.
Pocket Cove

Just love the patterns created by the surf in this small cove near Pigeon Point Lighthouse.
