Fall on the Central California coast

My generous friends the Cavales, shared their central coast beach house with us this past  October. 
We loved their cozy beach cottage in Cayucos that included the sound of the surf crashing on the beach. 
While Jim golfed, I painted plein air in oils and finished 3 small pieces. They are framed in modern natural pine frames.
I can almost smell the salty moist sea air, can't you?

Fall Color in the Eastern Sierra

We have had a another beautiful fall season in the eastern Sierra. The aspen trees were magical. The leaves of brilliant yellow, gold and orange, were mesmerizing as they shimmering in the wind.
I wanted to paint everyday and was able to several times. 
I tried to capture some of the magic and color, before the first snow and wind blew all the bright aspen leaves away.

A new avocation and a new blog

Thank you for visiting!

Since retiring from College of the Sequoias May 2013, I  have been pursuing full-time, my passion for making art. While waiting for my beloved fine art printing press to be moved up to my new mountain home, I have been painting plein air (outdoors) in both watercolor and oils. It's been exciting and challenging trying to capture the majestic beauty of eastern Sierra in both of these mediums. In creating this blog I hope to share my efforts with you. All the work shown here is for sale; please email me for prices.
On this blog I will feature oils, watercolors and limited edition etchings, relief and mono prints. Each piece will have dimensions and media listed. 


8 x 10 plein air oil, SOLD 


HOUSE PORTRAITS

I also enjoy doing 'house portraits', a custom image of your home or castle. Here is one of our friend's Mediterranean style home, in Southern California, perched high on a hill. Commission welcome, please  have photos ready or invite me to visit and paint your home,en plein air and alla prima, aka on the spot.


And this is a house 'portrait' of our own home,  that we call Shangri la
