Thank you!

I was going through my photos from a trip to the San Francisco Botanical Garden and keep getting pulled in by this little grouping. Gotta love a “main event” tree, especially when they come with a little sidekick!

Got gloopy with this one

A snow study #art #oilpainting

Trying out a quinacridone magenta underpainting on this one. I’m hoping for some dark, vibrant colors peeking through in the shadows…

#Blueskyart #oilpainting #workinprogress So done some more on this, last layer going on then the tweaking of details which will mean I'm on the home stretch at last!, got to decide which competition to enter it into next!. 39cms x 40cms oil on box canvas "Decay" part of my "Urban Beaty" series.

The peeling paint! 🤩

Annual self portrait work in progress. Plenty of refinement to attempt, but the colors and form are getting there.

Went for a snowy family hike in the Blue Hills yesterday. Happy New Year, everyone!

High textured to-be-touched painting. Background air and sky is a cobalt blue. The dried brambles are golden-ocher, streaked beet-red and sliced with black lines. There is a path through it into dark cobalt night.

Gouache landscape of a seaside with lava rocks, palm trees, and a traditional hale in the distance

Plein air painting at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park in Hawaii. Loved being able to paint the traditional hale in the distance! Painting lava rock is a challenge, but so fun. Gouache on watercolor paper. #pleinair #gouache #painting #landscapepainting #art

A blanket of fresh snow covers a neighbors back porch - a bright cadmium yellow shovel leans against the pale, buttercup yellow house, green city garbage cans, an old window, various bins line the back porch, bright spots of color against the new snow.
