Carolina Street Serenade

This street musician has appeared in many of my paintings from South Carolina. On my final day in town he was playing in the park across the street from my hotel. I put some money in his case and did a sketch of him and took a few photos. After I printed a photo of him I saw that his shirt had a "Crosby's Seafood" insignia on it. I was meant to paint him.

Lakeside Shadows 1

This painting is part of the Eastern Sierra series that I'm currently working on. The photo that inspired this piece was taken on my birthday in 2019. The trip that keeps giving. Hopefully we can get back this year for more inspiration.

Eastern Sierra Grazing

We were sightseeing and came across this group of animals grazing on the side of the road. I never miss an opportunity to photograph livestock. The structure of the mountain was obviously the main draw for me as it was and continues to be a challenge to paint. This is a study in gouache for a larger piece. The photo was taken on my birthday in 2019.
