The Kiss

6"x6"                oil

This was a commissioned painting from a photo that got water damaged. The young woman in the photo wanted to preserve this special moment in a more durable form. I abstracted the background and pulled the color of her hat into the picture in other places to balance the color harmony better. I loved the way the angle of her body created a dynamic diagonal towards him and completed a circle with the angle of his guitar. A very sweet picture!

Old Hen House, Community Park

6"x 8"                oil

It wasn't raining so my artist pals, Alicia and Diana, and I went to the Community Park in Garberville to do some plein air painting.  Cal Fire and the cons were there doing a lot of clearing and burning. They had already opened up a lot of the space between the barns and other old buildings, so the views were completely different from the last time I painted there. It was so much fun--but mighty chilly!

Shelter Cove Sundown

5"x 7"                  oil

This was the view walking back towards the boat ramp. The sun was just setting, silhouetting the cliffs and trees while casting its brilliant light across the ocean and shore. I loved the warm light against the rocks, the wet sheen on the sand, and the lit up pools of water.

Last Light on the Cliffs

7"x 5"               oil

I loved the puddles of seawater holding the mirrored cliffs like molten gold.

Reflections Connections

8"x10"                 oil

Late one afternoon my husband and I decided to take a walk on the beach at low tide. I found the glowing cliffs and their matching reflections breathtaking. Luckily I had my camera and took a bunch of snaps to later use as reference photos in my studio. This is number one of a few different views.

Old Big Barn

5"x 7"       oil

This painting was done 'en plein air' at our local community park. I really love these old barns and have painted them from different angles many times.

Fall Colors in Briceland

5"x 7"                     oil

We were at Beginnings in Briceland, CA this weekend to attend a (possibly) once-in-a-lifetime congregation to honor pioneers of the solar industry (my husband Charlie being one of them) who had been gathered from all around the US and beyond by the organizational zeal of Jeff Spies.

It was a great party. Not only did I enjoy meeting so many fascinating, brilliant, innovative people, but I spent a lot of time with my camera trying to capture potential paintings--like this one--showing the incredible colors of fall in this beautiful valley. It had rained briefly that morning, and showers continued intermittently throughout the day, creating a mist that softened the distant colors.
