Pasadena Bridge - Summer Days
(Colorado Street Bridge)

Evening Peace
12 x 16 oil on canvas
(Central California, Sierra Foothills oil painting)
This California oil painting celebrates the end of the day in Central California as valley oaks are silhouetted by the fading sun. The warm glow of sunset still lingers in the sky. Mist is already starting to form in the distant Sierra foothills, […]

Peaceful Valley
11 x 14 oil on canvas
While traveling over a mountain pass in Central California, I stopped to enjoy this vista down into a sheltered valley. Cattle were grazing among the dotted oak trees, enveloped in a late afternoon mist. The hillsides were still covered with wildflowers but the grass had begun to […]

Blue Heron Lake
9 x 12 oil on linen panel
This is another of the plein air paintings I did a month or so ago on our trip up through Central California. A small lake, with trees leaning down to touch the water. Yes, it was cold out there. Snow on the mountains and […]

Laguna Tide Pool
6 x 8 oil on canvas
SOLD
This small painting is a study for a larger Laguna seascape, which will probably feature several different rock patterns rather than just the one. It just felt too cluttered to put multiple rocks in such a small painting.
I’m back at the easel, getting ready for other upcoming shows. […]

Chapparal Trail
(Dunsmore Canyon, La Crescenta)
9 x 12 oil
We’re having some unseasonably hot weather right now. Today it was in the high 80s and tomorrow it’s likely to be 90. Last year, when I was doing the Sierra Madre Art Fair, it was 100 both days. Because I am showing so many paintings at Gale’s (which […]

California Wildflower Hills
9 x 12 plein air painting
oil on linen panel
A few months ago, after keeping an eye on the wildflower reporting sites, we took a trip up into the foothills of the western Sierras. The online sources were right - they really were really spectacular this year. I started […]
