Another August almost gone

8/23/2017

I didn't get to paint as much as I usually do during my summer break, but I am pretty happy with the work I produced. And I am excited to be showing several recent pieces at a community gallery in the Bird Rock neighborhood of La Jolla.

Painting with Palette Knives!

9/10/2016

2 Comments

 
In the last couple of weeks I made four impasto-style paintings. I used palette knives instead of brushes and applied the paint in thick layers, trying to avoid too much detail. It was a lot of fun and I plan to do more of them soon.

Fall-Winter 2015-16

I completed several paintings this fall, including a view of the century-old California Tower in Balboa Park. I was walking across the Laurel Street Bridge in the early morning just as the sun came out from behind clouds and sent the dramatic shadows of the eucalyptus trees sweeping across the road ahead of me. I feel like it is one of my best works to date and a sign that I am still growing as a painter.

    ​New Work

    I generally produce about three or four new paintings every month. Not all of them end up on my website. If you see something that catches your eye, please contact me. They generally will sell within six months, some much sooner.
