San Francisco-The Presidio
Spring break (still) day 4. The trees along the coast of Northern California are incredible. I’ve always loved the shapes Monterey Cypress trees twist themselves into to reach out through the fog for every bit of sunlight they can get. I hope to take many more photographs next time we are in CA. Better yet, paintContinue reading “San Francisco-The Presidio”
Sketch for new painting-Cypress Trees
New sketch, excited to see where this painting goes. Why the red X? Because after sketching I decided to take out the Mercedes SUV.

Spring Break-Day 4
Any guesses where we went next? I have a few more Spring Break day trips to paint and blog about. After hanging around Ukiah for a couple of days we decided to take a day trip to San Francisco. SF is 100 miles south of Ukiah straight down 101. Growing up I made that trip many times withContinue reading “Spring Break-Day 4”

Flying Nautilus
16X24 oil on canvas I grew up near the coast in Northern California. As a kid my dad would go abalone diving in Fort Bragg with his friends and I would play around on the cliffs with my sisters. It’s a wonder we are still alive. At the end of the abalone diving day weContinue reading “Flying Nautilus”
