This is from a backpacking trip in the high sierras.  I hiked in a couple of hours with my painting gear to this gorgeous lake, and spent the day trying to capture a bit of my feeling of awe being out there. Oil on linen mounted on board.

While the sea is a captivating subject, the sky can be just as brilliant. This piece depicts a luminous California sunset. Oil on linen mounted on gatorboard. It is available unframed.

I love working en plein air, and this piece was created during the early hours of the morning at the seaside. The combination of the gentle, muted sky and the vibrant waters brought me a deep sense of peace.

I have always loved depicting the intricacies of the ocean’s blues. This piece is no different; on this day the water was vibrant and I wanted to capture that vividness. I hope this painting can bring a slice of the ocean to life.
