"Port Clyde Cove"

11x14" oil on canvas panel

I'm doing a few Maine paintings to transition back to painting larger. I've been having fun attempting to paint fast and spontaneously. Some of the paintings haven't worked out but I like this one. It's nice to have room to experiment with brushwork.

"Tunitas Creek Road"

11x14" oil on canvas panel - sold

This painting was done on location in June of 2010. While painting I kept hearing a strange bird call. It was really loud and unfortunately, not at all pleasant. I was putting on the finishing touches when a large peacock walked by and continued on down the middle of the road. I didn't even know we had peacocks in Northern California.

This is one of 25 paintings hanging in my first solo show, currently at the Mercy Center located at 2300 Adeline in Burlingame, California. The paintings will be up through the end of April.
