Acrylic on Panel - 5 x 7 inches
The colors in Wine Country in the Fall are wonderful. The vines turning red and gold, while the grasses spring up bright green with the first rains.

Blue Boy III
Acrylic on Panel - 8 x 10 inches
Even larger this time, but better at leaving out detail.

Blue Boy II
Acrylic on Panel - 6 x 8 inches
A larger version of the previous painting. I tried to keep it as loose, but detail crept in, and I'm not sure it's helping.

Blue Boy
Acrylic on Panel - 4 x 6 inches
A mother and child sharing a cookie, or maybe it's cheese. Hard to say.

Berry picking
Acrylic on Panel - 4 x 6 inches
Painting some smaller panels because it's easier to leave detail out. Must find a way to adapt this to larger surfaces.

Arrival

The scene that greets you as you pull into the drive, somewhere North of here.

Rowers

Mission Storm Break
Acrylic on Panel - 9 x 12 inches
Another view of the rainy Mission District in San Francisco, this time, it's starting to clear up, but still very wet. I like rainy days like this, which is good, because we're hurtling toward this kind of weather again.

Sun Bather

A typical scene that years gone by would be of a woman with a book in the park.

Reflections

Sometimes the shapes and colors in the water are more compelling than the scene they reflect.

Atypical Clouds
Acrylic on Panel - 8 x 10 inches
Painting the skies in Northern California can be boring. Either completely blue or completely gray. As fall approaches, things get a little more interesting.

Mother and Child
Acrylic on Panel - 8 x 8 inches
One more go at it. I'm including some steps along the way, not just to show the process, but I met with a painter over the weekend who was filming his painting process and discovered that some of this work seemed better at some stage along the way other than the finished product.
Even the the lighting is wrong in the three photos I took to show the process, I think I prefer the looser brushwork. Hmmm.

Mother and Child
Acrylic on Panel - 8 x 8 inches
First in a series, for a challenge sent by my father. The photo was difficult to work from because it was back lit and most of the faces were in shadow, but a challenge isn't supposed to be easy.

'Brellas
Acrylic on Panel - 5 x 7 inches
For this sketch, I took various elements that I saw from the same vantage point and combined them into a new composition. It was liberating to be able to edit so much out of the scene.

Red Trees

A quick sketch and another attempt at those dang red trees.

Mother and Child
Acrylic on Panel - 8 x 10 inches
This is a very loose sketch on top of a print as a test. I wish I could paint this way more often. It just flowed out of my brush.

Cupcakes
