"California Coast Wildflowers" (SOLD)

Wildflowers scattered among the native grasses on the misty California coast.

Thanks, Jim B., for the outstanding source pic!

"Harbor Dusk" (SOLD)

Another of the paintings from my Taos trip. Yes, I went to the desert to paint the ocean... go figure.

A glass of wine at sunset on the deck of your sailboat before we go inside to cook a gourmet dinner? I'm in!

Many thanks to Tom L. for the fantastic source photo!

"Tuscan Poppies"

This is a piece from 2008 that I didn't like initially. But after a rework of the clouds, I'm happy with it now. The poppies in Tuscany are red, but sometimes the light and the atmosphere leaves them looking more orange.

"Sunset Sail, Santorini Caldera" (SOLD)

Just back from my yearly "art pilgrimage" to Taos, New Mexico. Three days of painting, gallery hopping and eating too much Mexican food. This is one of the pieces I completed on my trip. Santorini is a Greek archipelago... essentially all that is left of a volcano that exploded thousands of years ago. The central lagoon (i.e. the caldera) is surrounded by steep cliffs nearly a thousand feet high.

Thanks, Matt... a fellow Coloradan... for the inspiring photo!
