Calming Redwoods

I took many shots on my camera on our way down the mountainside from Fort Bragg, California.

Downtown Hat Lady

This hat lady lives on yet again. This is a small oil. The subject was photographed by me in the 90s. She was entering a bank and dressed to the nines. I located the photo again this year and noticed that she had a cigarette in her hand. I then began to wonder if she was a bank teller or banker returning from lunch. Her story lives on in my imagination.

Here she is again.

Fort Bragg Revisit

I just got back from a long stay in northern California. It was a very fruitful visit in many ways. I did a ton of sketching, painting, photograpy, video and of course relaxing with Pam. This painting is from a visit in early 2000. Before my trip, I was doing a series of oil paintings from old sketches. I used a Sourcetex wood panel for my surface.

Sierra My Perspective

One of very few oil paintings completed last year. My oil painting has decreased over the years and I really can't expalin why. I do enjoy the medium but I do find it messy and cumbersome. Its probably not that good for our environments either. Who knows this year may be a banner year for oils. This one is from my visit to the Lee Vining, California area in 2019.

Watch Out

Another oil on copper. I need to paint more in oils.
