  Price List

 I studied landscape plein-aire painting with noted California Impressionists while living in the Bay area.  Although I no longer live there, frequent visits keep my portfolio refreshed with the energy inherent in the ocean, the bays, the mountains, and the dynamic spirit of the people.

North of Lake Tahoe in the high Sierra Mountains, sparkling morning light hits the trees, stream, old waterwheel and rocks.

" Chumash Lion"
 11x14, Oil on Linen Board

  It seemed ironic to me that the old Mission in Santa Barbara contains the sacred lion of the Chumash Indians -- disguised as a water spout.

 
"Splendid Morning"

A Bay Area morning walk in early spring finds us viewing Mt. Tam, valley fog, and glistening sunlight through the trees.

Intrepid bathers contemplate braving the cold deep waters of the Pacific near Carmel.
 
"Lover's Point Wedding"

 Lover's Point near Pacific Grove is always full of people and events.  The natural beauty brings us back again and again.

"Dinner Time"
 9x12 Oil on Linen Board

 Out on Point Reyes, near sundown, when the fog was rolling in, I chanced to spot this line of dutiful cattle following the truck with their dinner.  A perfectly laughable ending to a perfect day.
