Garrapata State Park
Studio painting of waves crashing on the rocks at Garrapata State Park, California coast near Monterey.
I haven’t seen the sun out my window for days and days but in my studio it is making an appearance. Here are two recently completed paintings of happy sunshine for you.
Sunlight and Shadow
Studio work from a photo taken at New Camaldoli, up in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean just south of Big Sur.
Summer is over but I am still painting flowers from the many photos that I have. I photographed this peony in Boerner Botanical Garden in 2021. I wanted to go big, so this painting is 20” square. It is on wrapped canvas (the canvas wraps around the sides) and I painted the sides so there is no need for a frame.
This elegant Echinacea is one of the many varieties in the award-winning garden of a friend.

Storm Over Lake Superior SOLD
Winter is over, the quarantine is winding down, it’s time for getting out and doing things. April 23 - 24 I will be at The Christine Center for the annual Clark County Spring Into the Arts Studio Tour. On my way to the show I will deliver Storm Over Lake Superior to its new owner.
Two weeks later I am off to New Mexico. The spring flowers should still be blooming and there will be long drives through the mountains and deserts, a tour of Georgia O’Keeffe’s home, a sail plane ride, and, of course, a lot of art galleries.
