This painting of Villa Montalvo’s Italianate garden captures the temple on an autumn morning. The orange quince in the foreground seemed to be lit from the inside. I enjoyed its loose structure as a contrast to the temple’s vertical columns.

What fun painting this plein air piece in the Harbour Village Marina in Kralendijk Bonaire. The unwashed ochre building are such a nice foil for the Caribbean blues.

I painted this on location at the Kralendijk Harbor on Bonaire. I had to work fast to try to catch the oranges and blush tones in the clouds at dawn. Once the sun rose just a bit above the clouds they dispersed.

I painted this dive boat from the Harbour Village Resort on while I was vacationing in Bonaire. I really enjoyed the way the blues of the water played off of the orange tones of the cluster of hotel buildings in the background.
A gentleman and his family who was also visiting saw me as I was painting. This piece was their favorite from the my time in Bonaire. I have since varnished and framed “Harbour Queen” and sent it to its new home in the Netherlands. What a great memory for their family and for me.

In this piece, I’m capturing a cypress as it clings to the absolute edge a cliff at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. This is a magical area just north of Half Moon Bay with amazing coastal vistas, a moody cypress forest, tide-pools and a beach where seals hang out and pups are born.

The path along the bluff of the Fitzgerald Marine Preserve offers gorgeous views. I painted this piece to the sounds of the surf on a typical Moss Beach Day twixt fog and sun.

I painted this surrounded by cows at Harvey Bear Park in San Martin. It’s a great spot with broad views of our local foothills.

The last time I painted at the Clos LaChance Winery in San Martin, I didn’t focus on the vines. Instead, this piece is all about the sky and that beautiful oak tree.

The Polynesian Voyaging Society organized a 2800 sailing expedition in 2023 that included 45 ports starting in Alaska and ending up in Southern California. In this scene, the Polynesian sailing vaka as passing under the Golden Gate Bridge heading south to the next stop, Pillar Point.

I’m drawn to the colors and sounds of the surf. This spot is in Moss Beach.
