Miller Knox Renovations

During my last stay in Northern California, I of course went to many marinas. The Miller Knox Marina is one of my favorites because the fishermen/women are fun to sketch, photograph etc. They are so used to me that they ignore my presence. Part of the old pier was being removed. It was quite an interesting thing to watch and film.

Rebirth

On our way to and from Lee Vining, California and the Eastern sierra we drove through many areas that had been hit by wildfire's. These areas were going through what appeared to be regrowth. I tried to capture that in this image.

Red Houses

One of the many scenes from my morning walks in Austin.

No Background

My partner has many plants in the front yard and just like the flowers they get painted. I think this one would translate well as a larger painting.

Frate Barker Spring Flowers

I walk in this area for some of my morning walks. This year the flowers didn't disappoint. Their presence even made driving on MOPAC more tolerable. The photo that inspired this piece was taken early morning on my phone.

Sunlit House

The spring flowers this year were breathtaking. This painting is my attempt at blue bonnets and blackeyed susans. I did a series of value studies and generateed the paintngs from the value studies. This is a patch of flowers in South Austin.

Trees, Rocks and Water

I have had the pleasure and honor to visit the Eastern Sierra twice. This painting was inspired by an image taken during my first trip.

Again Three Pears

This is a mixed media monoprint. It started out as a charcoal image transfer. It was later embellished with posca pens etc. I found a bunch of older charcoal notan sketches that I had done for a number of older paintings. I used them as charcoal transfers on the gelli plate.

Crowned Wave

This was painted from one of my favorite places.

Sierra Storms Watercolor

This years visit to the Eastern Sierra area was a bit rainy but beautiful none the less. I really liked the storm clouds and the patch of yellow flowers that splashed across the landscape.

Sierra Storms One

The painting was inspired by a photo I took this year while visiting the Eastern Sierra. The skys were amazing as was the landscape. It made me feel incredibly small.

Myself 2024

This year one goal is to document my life more. This is a monoprint/mixed media image of me. Self portraits come in many forms. Have a great weekend all.

Fort Bragg Storm Clouds

Happy New Year all. I spent some time in one of my favorite spots at the beginning of the year. It was rainy and foggy a couple of days, but that makes for dramatic skys and waves. I painted a lot. Great way to start the year.
