White and Blue Vase

Sunflowers I

This was my first attempt at Sunflowers and I am quite pleased with it.  

Turquoise Vase

The photo of this painting is rather washed out looking.  I think the original is more vibrant, but I am posting it anyway.

Sunflowers on White Vase

I have been painting "Still Life," lately and will be posting more frequently after a long absence.

Bird Rock

This is a scene of the area around Bird Rock on the 17 mile drive at Pebble Beach.  It was stared on site and finished in my studio.  I was attending an En Plein Air workshop.  The weather in Carmel was especially beautiful and unusual for July.  

Birches in the snow

Birches are wonderful to paint in watercolor.  They usually turn out well even if you aren't a seasoned painter.
I am trying to do a series of them because I love them so much.  I had three beautiful birches in my front yard in my previous house. In this new house, I have planted just one, but with multiple branches.

Ocean dunes in watercolor

A very simple watercolor with an emphasis on clouds which take up two-thirds of the paper.
