Hampton Beach Surfers

Here is my rendition of  surfers at Hampton Beach, NH. I took this photo last month while visiting my relatives who vacation there every summer. These kids look so vulnerable, yet so trendy with their cell phones and wet suits and buff bodies.. 

Old Hopland Poplars and Off Highway One

Using artistic license, I modified the sky to reflect sunsets I've seen.

This paintings is very loose and abstract, and painted from a photo I took.

From My Point of View

Imagine sitting here as the morning fog lifts.

The Garden Gate

Having painted in this beautiful Healdsburg garden before, I have been attracted to this scene but never painted it because the shadows have moved too fast. Since I am now able to apply the paint much faster, I finally attempted this view with some success. 

Finding the Still Place

Roses have spectacular blooms this year, at least in Sonoma County. The Russian River Rose Company, in Healdsburg, invited a few plein air artists to capture their gardens on canvas.
