"Dessert Case" - SOLD

6x8" oil on hardboard

This was done from a photograph my daughter took at the Toy Boat Cafe on Clement Street in SF. I handed her the camera and let her shoot away. It was fun to watch how into it she was. When I downloaded the photos this one jumped out at me. It has a unique sort of light, a greenish glow that for some reason I find appealing.

"Goose Chase"

6x8" oil on masonite

One last duck painting. Thought I'd give a mallard a try.

"Ducks at Dusk"

6x8 oil on masonite

I'm reading Dear Theo, Van Gogh's letters to his brother. I like that you don't have to read it chronologically, you can just open it anywhere and be pulled right in. Last night I read how both he and Gauguin had barely enough money for supplies. He would like to sell something but isn't very hopeful. The complete absence of sales doesn't dampen his enthusiasm though, he remains excited and inspired by the beauty around him and has so much he wants to paint. His birthday is tomorrow.

"Hungry Ducks"

6x8" oil on masonite

I love white ducks, I had two of them as a kid. They followed me home from a nearby park shortly after Easter.  Every year people dropped unwanted domesticated ducklings in the pond figuring they'd be fine, I hope they were. They made great pets and they make nice painting subjects too!

"Friday Drive Home" - SOLD

6x8" oil on masonite

This is a section of highway 280 as it turns towards the Pacific Ocean. The windows on the hill ahead are reflecting the warm light of the setting sun. I've never seen anything quite like it, glad I had my camera with me.
