"GEESE"

Painting in Kneeland with a group of women from the Southern Humboldt Art Association, I couldn't help but be drawn to these magnificent creatures.  The noise they made was unbelievably loud  because just out of the picture was a nesting pair.  10 x 8 oil on canvas panel.  To learn more or to bid

"BEHIND GISELA'S"

This view is standing on the porch of the little cottage I stay at in Mendocino.  We're looking at Gisela's house and shed.  It's a riot of color in June and can be overwhelming to paint but I always enjoy it.  The painting is on a Raymar canvas panel 8 x 10 inches.  To bid on eBay CLICK HERE

"ALL THINGS WHITE"

The challenge here was 'white objects on white cloth' and was completed over three days.  I deliberately took my time so as not to get lost in all the subtle value transitions and to keep it fresh.  It is 12 x 12 " oil on stretched canvas.  To bid on eBay CLICK HERE

"ROSES AND PETUNIAS 2"

I did a large pastel of this scene some years ago and because I am so fond of this type of lighting I did this smaller version in oil.  10 x 8 inches oil on canvas panel.  To  bid on eBay CLICK HERE SOLD

"FOUR KITTIES"

I really liked the design of the four cats in the black chair.  When I shot the picture I didn't think much of it except that it was cute and unusual to see them all together like this.  8 x 10 inches oil on canvas panel.  To learn more or to bid CLICK HERE SOLD

"BACK YARD SCENE"

This started out plein air....just recording all the many greens and shadows and the corner of an old fenced area where I plant my corn.  The bird and cat were added later from photo reference.  It's a familiar site around here.  I have lots of cats and they're ruthless hunters.  This is oil 10 x 8 inches on canvas panel.
