ZLAC Rowing Club paintings

This past summer I had a great opportunity to go out and take some photos of one of the Women's rowing teams from ZLAC Rowing Club. I used these as reference for a series of paintings that were presented at the Club in August. Here are a few, more on the website.

Dos Picos Paintings

Time for a little catch-up as I've been less than timely with blog posts. Here are a couple of paintings I did on location while camping at Dos Picos Park in Ramona, CA this past spring. This was a terrific location that I hope to return to, just as soon as it cools off.

Mission Federal ArtWalk 2009: April 25 and 26

Come on out and enjoy a wonderful San Diego day filled with original art and music. I’ll be in booth #154 this year. That’s on Beech St. near India. I have lots of new paintings, mostly local subjects from in and around San Diego.

Tecolote Canyon from Quillan

This was painted on location a couple of weeks ago. It was a terrific morning for painting and a fantastic view of Tecolote Canyon with USD peeking through the winding hillsides. Christina and I painted very different interpretations of the scenes in front of us, although we stood only feet away from each other- funny how that happens. So much about a painting is a personal story of the artist. That's part of the fun! This painting felt like a struggle while I was out there- but I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I can't wait to head back and try another!

Ok, it's been way to long

It has been too long since the last post. I have been painting. I recently returned from a terrific trip to Santa Fe, NM. I enjoyed a Plein Air workshop with Bill Gallen. We were "rained out" on the first day, which wasn't so bad after all as Bill demo'd in his studio. The next day we went painting. We went to this fantastic location outside of Santa Fe- Diablo Canyon. The final day, we painted in town in an arroyo. Here's what came from those days...





I only got a block-in done on the last one.
