Window on Another Time--China Camp

This is a lovely place with a real sense of history.  You can feel the presence of the fishermen and their families who made this their home so many years ago.  The fog, the movement of the waves, the damp mornings, still remain the same.  (21.5" by 27.5")

Poppies of Home

Painted en plein air near a Sonoma winery.  10" x 14.5"  

Lakeville Ladies

These beautiful cows almost held still while I drew them.  I also had the help of a photo I could view on my camera.  I was able to draw them and put down the first washes while there and then finished the painting in my studio.  I hope to visit them again soon.  10" by 14.25"

Cliff House at Point Sutro, San Francisco

This is a plein air painting of the famous Cliff House in San Francisco.  Just a few steps to the right (and not pictured) lie the ruins of the Sutro Baths, an extravagant public bathhouse which opened in 1896; and a few steps beyond the ruins, nature has placed a huge rock--just perfect for a plein air painter.  9"x 13"

Hummingbird at the Mission

This scene was painted en plein air at Mission San Jose in September.  The hummingbirds were dashing back and forth all morning, much too quickly for me to really see them.  The single hummingbird in the painting was added later in my studio.  10" x 14"
