Afternoon Flower Garden

A few weeks ago I painted this property from the side yard. This time I saw the beautiful flowers and late afternoon shadows on the planter boxes and had to paint it. This place is in Bodega, CA, and the owners say it's been painted countless times. Can you see why? Plus the weather was gorgeous and stayed that way all day.

Cow Palace

This cow barn is on a back street behind Tomales. It looks so cozy under the big eucalyptus trees. I liked the added palm tree. The cows have it good here. 16"x20" oil on canvas.

Rest Stop

Back again to the little village of Tomales. This time I focused on Main Street and the passers-through having some refreshments. You'll find bicyclists and motorcyclists here regularly. 20"x16" oil on canvas.

In Back of Town

A friend and I paint in and around Tomales, CA, often when the weather is okay. I spotted this cozy backside of town one street up from Main Street and couldn't resist all of the angles of roof tops and the various greens of the foliage.

Palace of Fine Arts

San Francisco is a wonderful city to paint, especially on a sunny warm day. This was one of those days. I picked this view of the building for the reflections, sculpted people on the building, and architecture. It is 30"x22", oil on stretched canvas, framed. Price $875.

Luther Burbank Home and Gardens

I've been trying to paint a very small and quick pallette knife painting each day to loosen up. This is a 5"x7", oil on canvas, framed, that I liked because of the complimentary colors and multiple shapes. It's in a section of the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens, always a colorful place.

I've done a larger version of this, but actually prefer this little gem because it's not so realistic. Oh, to do large looser paintings. Price $99+$10 s/h.
