Musical moonlight

I have been called "The Conductor" at times when people watch me wave my brush around while painting, this piece was done from memory and has a musical feel to it.

Standing in the light

While everyone around me was busy painting vistas and the ocean, I did this little tree painting because I liked the abstract shapes and the light on the hill behind the trees.

Moonlit Marina

 
Some of my favorite paintings have been started in low light conditions, I suppose that is because my judging self is temporarily turned off and I am operating mainly from my intuition.This piece was painted while waiting to embark on a weeks long journey to the Channel Islands to paint, fish and dive.

Love Shack

Took a drive in the back roads of Carpinteria this weekend looking for some mountain ranges to paint and found this sweet little house nestled along a hillside filled with avocado trees just across the street from the creek. The special part was a baby red fox laying about 10 feet from me the whole time. I kept looking over expecting him to be gone and there he was, curled up in the sunshine staring at me.

Fish and Flowers

It's always fun to play with a Pallet Knife, it really helps to loosen me up when I'm getting too serious, this still life was full of color and shapes, the challenge was NOT to paint everything I was seeing in front of me.

Shimmering waves

The light on the ocean has always been one of my favorite subjects. This moment was so special because I was the only person around perched half way down the cliff with plenty of time to settle in and witness these mirror effects. Thank God I'm a Cali-Boy!
