Here Comes The Sun



Oil painting - another desert image.

Having painted the "White Tanks", an area near Surprise, Arizona several times, this image continued to stay in my mind. The first painting was an evening scene, then two more developed suggesting early morning. It's an artist's gift to have mental images still available to do a variation on the theme.

Japanese Shrine

A week in Kyoto provided the artist with many interesting subjects. This shrine was the best.
Painting has been sold to a collector in Wisconsin.

Pacific Coast Walkway -- Watercolor



Near Cambria, California. It looks blustery, but in the summer can be beautiful.


This large Watercolor recently sold. So, it's back to Cambria and Moon Beach to paint. This theme has been used for several Oil paintings.

Evening Desert -- Oil





In the spring, the White Tank Mountains are a wonderful place to hike and take photographs. Located west of Surprise, Arizona, it offers a wealth of information
for artists of the Southwest.

Coral Fantasy


The painting shown was exhibited at West Valley Art Museum in Surprise, Arizona.
The  "painting"  is acrylic ink pour.  I was pleased with the image and luckily it worked.  Often the first ten are throwaways, then one turns out so delicious, you know to keep it.

Color Of Music



This acrylic painting was inspired by "Monet's Garden." The painting was sold to a New York collector.
