"LATE AFERNOON SHADOWS"

FOR ART EXPO IN VEGAS
Here I played with shadows on the road and the clouds above. I wanted a mood to be felt about this time of day and I feel I've accomplished this. The size is 30X30

"10 MORE MILES"

Here is a painting that I had for a year and just last week pulled it out of my storage room where I keep my paintings when there is no more room on the walls. Will I took a look at it with new eyes after a year and put it up on my easel and made some big changes to it and found I did the right thing..... Funny how your never really through painting a painting, yes I know when to just stop and walkaway but, if its calling to me, it's usually right. This is a 30"X24" oil on canvas. (SOLD)

"BALBOA"

(Sold)



I was in my friends duffy in the harbor in Newport at sunset and took this shot. The sun had already set so the fun zone was in deep shadows. The sky is from an earlier shot in the day so I put both photos together to make this dramatic contrast of color and mood. Size is 50"X40"

"DUSK IN NEWPORT"

Back bay in Newport again was seeing the light at the right time then seeing if I can pull it off..

"COAST HWY"

(Sold)





Here is another for the Laguna show. This is coast hwy coming out of Laguna beach. A drive I do many times rather then take the freeways. The painting was fun to do and to see that I got the feeling moving down this road and of the space in front of us. The size is 50"X40"

The beginning of The Wave" Painting.

Yes! this is the beginning of the painting that one can see from my little 6"x6" blog study. After prepping the canvas I develop the color for the sky and apply this to the background giving me a sense of what the clouds will be up against, then the fun begins.... I'll be back later with more.

"THE WAVE"

My palette and the colors for this painting are relatively few but the array of colors that can be achieved are many.

(Sold)


Here is another one of those skies that I enjoyed working out the blending and building the clouds and playing with the subtlety's of light. Size 60"X30"

"THE MIDWAY"

(Sold)








FOR ART EXPO IN VEGAS
This photo was sent to me of just the sky, it was not very clear so I sat and looked at it and thought, what can I do to make it into a painting... After weeks of thinking I came up with this from photos I too have taken of feilds that crisscross American heartlands and the small carnivals that travel the towns bringing there magic.

"GRAY SUNDAY"

Here is another of my favorite black & whites. In a lot of the B&W paintings there is a hint of color, for me it is having fun on just how to add an element of shade someplace. The size was 50X40 and yes it's sold.

"MINUS 28"

(Sold)


To work in black & white is much more difficult then color for you can razzle-dazzle the eye with color but, B&W your ether on the mark or your starting over. I feel I nailed this one after re-painting how the snow laid on the mountain. the size is 32X36 price $2,800

"GROUND PATTERNS"

This is an ongoing series of black & whites that I have been painting for the last nine years. I don't know when it strikes me to paint one but I will be posting them.
The two new paintings that will be coming up on my blog I have just completed, one is a spin from a large canvas. I love painting them for they are a challenge. I make my own black colors giving them the depth needed to achieve the tone and mood of a black & white.
Hope you enjoy. size is 32X36 price: $2,800 + s/h

WATERWAY'S

PLANET HOLLYWOOD

This is painted from one of my many photos. It took 5 weeks to complete painting everyday for ten to twelve hours a day. I paint the background white and it is painted like a watercolor so I did not use white for my highlights but pushed the color till it was so then as to give me the glow of reflections I needed. This painting is going on tour for two years in 2008. It is in a privet collection. The size is 38x42
