"Mori Point"

20x20" oil on canvas

One of the things I like about participating in themed shows is that it encourages me to explore new subject matter. I tend to avoid painting traditional landscapes so this one is bit of a departure for me. This painting is for "Waterfront", a show opening at the Studio Gallery on September 4th. 

I've only recently discovered Mori Point and it's become one of my favorite spots to go for a walk. This view is looking south from the point toward Pacifica. The large mountain in the back is Montara Mountain, another beautiful spot for a hike.

"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.

"Dubrovnik Harbor"

8x10" oil on canvas panel

This is my entry for this month's Virtual Paintout. I had fun exploring Croatia on Google Street View, what a beautiful country!

"Over the Edge"

"Rowboat with Oars"

I really like the look created by a wide angle lens.

"Red Shacks on Dock"

I had to sneak past a "keep out" sign for this one.
