I'm still working out my approach to the local landscape. Here is a study of the Eucalyptus around the golf course out in Morro Bay. This one measures 36" x 18" and is available directly from me. Please contact me for more info.
A study of the ag fields around Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo with Bishop's Peak and Chumash Peak in the distance. This one measures 18" x 36" and is available directly from me! Please contact me for info.
A Eucalyptus grove above the golf course in Morro Bay. I really debated whether or not I should put myself in there looking for my ball. That's usually where it ends up. This one measures 36x48 in. and will be available through The Vault Gallery in Cambria, CA.
I paint a lot of sunsets, and I wouldn't rank one over the other since it is always a significant part of the day for me no matter where I'm standing. That said, there is something very different about the midsummer sunsets of mid-June in Dalarna, Sweden. They last for hours! You could literally go for a dip in the lake as the sun is setting, have some dinner, and still go out afterward and watch the sun continue to slowly glide along the horizon line like a stubborn baby refusing to go to sleep. So here's an idea of what it looks like. This one measures 24" x 48".
It's gotta' be close to 100 degrees today in LA but here's another one coming out of the Swedish winter. Measures 30" x 48".
I can't stop painting "The Canyon"! The top one measures 24" x 48" and the bottom one measures about 57" x 39". Please contact me for availability and pricing.
I'm slowly chipping away at some ideas for how to paint urban scenes. Here's my latest crack at painting a glimpse of the town of Oia on the island of Santorini in Greece. Measures 43"x43". It's a follow up to an approach I took on a painting glimpses of San Francisco and that I hope to apply to more interesting snippets of urbanity in the future. Here are the SF paintings:
Sant'Agata Church in Pietrapiana, Italy. Measures 40"x49".
I'm still working out some Poly Canyon ideas. Here are a couple of smaller pieces based on a view of Poly Canyon that I've been playing around with for a little while now. Each measures approx. 30"x40".
I must have run by this little reservoir a hundred times while living in Italy. I've painted it only a handful of times. This latest measures about 38" x 53" and will be available soon through The Vault Gallery in Cambria, CA.
We're getting close to Midsummer here in Sweden with temperatures reaching into the 80's some days. Quite a contrast to this winter scene that I started some months ago when things were still frozen. This one measures about 100cm x 150cm and will be available a little later this summer. Please contact me for more info.
The first of the Swedish paintings! A winter sunset over Lake Siljan. Measures about 42" x 48".
Here is my most recent commission. A depiction of the meandering road down from Donnini towards the bridge to Fontisterni, in the Tuscan hills outside of Florence Italy.
I'm looking forward to making a trip back to the area at the end of May. It will be our first experiment in traveling with little Molly.
Here's an old photo of the same location.
Here's the first thing I've been able to finish since coming over to Sweden in January. It measures about 40" x 55". I hope ex-Poly runners recognize the view. It's all downhill from here!
