Holiday Sail

Fourth of July I think and the boats were out. Oil paint drawing sticks and tempra paint.

September Marina Vibe

The bones of this painting were done in ink on site. Color and various media were added later.

Mosaic 1

This piece started out as as gelli print on a "masa" like paper. I later added tempra paint and gel pens. I find abstraction to be difficult but somewhat liberating.

Marina Hillside

I painted this piece during my recent stay in Northern California. I frequently "turn around" and paint something other than the ocean.

Morning Fog Lifting

On our last day in Fort Bragg we went to one of our favorite spots. It was raining off and on. I was filming timelapses and sketching. When we get here I tend to stay in this spot. I love the atmosphere. I used oil paint sticks and tempra paints on canvas.

Bay Bridge Vantage Point

This birthday season we did a lot of local parks with different views of the Bay Bridge in California. Years ago I would never have tried the bridge because I found it intimidating. As I have grown older, painting is more about joy and fun and not selling. As I post paintings from this visit. You will notice that I used tempra paint and paint sticks in some on the many paintings that I managed this visit.

Escaping Light

This painting was started years ago and left in a pile of unfinished works. This year I finished it up with gel pens, etc. It's a painting of Northern California redwoods.
