Sunset With Cranes

My friend Tony and I were on the University of Texas campus when I snapped this shot with my camera phone. We were on our way to a performance. This is the initial study of the image; my intent is a larger pastel and watercolor.

Drive By Extension 4

This is from one of my car sketches. The coastal highways in California are hilly and curvy. Two things that freak me out while driving as well as riding. It seems as if the road disappears.

From The Pier 4

Another study of the ocean surface.

Dock Sentinel

This guy was hanging out at the marina. Clearly on the hunt for food. 5 by 7 inches.

Form the Pier I study

The first small study for the looking down on the ocean series. I worked on the larger piece again last night. I decided not to add the lavendar in the larger version. Im working with various values of green.

From the Pier II study

This is a study for a series of paintings based upon looking down to the surface of the ocean. I took this shot from the pier in Pacifica, CA. That place always has great waves and surfers. The larger painting is on Masa paper that has been crinkled and gessoed.

Marina 2

Another vessel on the bay of the Berkeley Marina.
