Casting Pond

"Casting Pond"

5x8  Oil on Paper

$95

The casting pond in the Arroyo Seco Park is the perfect place to capture fly fishermen practicing their casting.  I don't have to worry about disrupting the fishing and I can get some great shots while I walk.  Little do they know that a good or bad cast (I wouldn't know the difference) might make it into one of my paintings. 

Losing Details - SOLD

"Lunch at Lucky's" - SOLD

5 1/2 x 7 Oil on Paper

Lately I've been evaluating everything in my art.  Playing around with a different palette, drawing more and seeing how much detail I can eliminate.  A street scene is the perfect place to try.  With all the signage, cars, people and buildings it can be overwhelming.  But when I start with my 2 value notan, it makes it easier.  Still not reaching my goal yet but I'm further down the road.  Hope you enjoy it.

Among the Blooms - SOLD

"Among the Blooms

8x8  Oil on Linen Panel

Low Country Revisited - SOLD

"Glow on the Marsh"

18x24  Oil on Linen Panel

There was a time when I painted marshes quite often.  Then I lost interest in the subject but when you come across a scene as beautiful as this...hard not to grab the brush and paint away.  

Palm Trees - SOLD

"Distant Hills"

5x7 Oil on Linen Panel

I enjoy painting these really tall palm trees.  I find myself searching my California photos for palm trees in the hope that there will be a scene to support painting the trees.  Weird, I know.  But whatever floats your boat.

Just Indicating - SOLD

"Mountainside Lupine"

12x12 Oil on Linen Panel

Had fun trying to just "indicate" the beautiful lupine. There's always that line 

that you don't want to cross & hopefully I've stopped just short of it.
