Pond at Quail Hollow

8″ x 10″ Oil on linen panel

Quail Hollow Ranch Park is a fun destination for painting and experiencing rural life in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I’ve painted horses, barns and farm equipment at Quail Hollow. In this piece, I’ve turned my attention to the small pond on the property.

Morning Oak

9″ x 12″ oil on linen panel

Coastal Live Oaks are part of the natural heritage of our area. I painted this one at daybreak in Carmel Valley. In this piece, I tried to capture the moment as the fog lifted before the distant hills came into view.

Nestled In

8″ x 10″ oil on linen panel

Between intermittent morning showers, I painted this piece in an area called Arcata Bottoms. I loved the cozy feeling associated with a home and barn set off by large trees.
