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.

Working Harbor

I was cold but this was fun to paint. I like to paint during the hours that most consider to be less than favorable light. My take on light is that any time of day presents a light that can be translated into art. All light in my opinion is beautiful.

Firecracker And Treat

As you know I did a lot of sketches of this little one. I painted this from memory and sketches when we got back to the house.

Richmond Nocturne 2

I have been playing lawyer this week and haven't yet had a chance to post. This is from my recent trip to Northern California.

The Red Pepper II

Another in the veggie series.

Orange Pepper 3

Another in the pepper series. The camera didn't record the color accurately for the top background. In person I think the values are cooler almost lavender in person.

Orange Pepper 2

The second bell pepper.
