Hurst Garden


I'm not happy with my greens or with the lack of dimension.

Tower in London


At the Tower in London.  I wanted to bleed the color and not be so hard edge.

Beach house



The best piece of the four paintings I did in Mel Stabin's workshop.  Mel offered advise on the palm trees but did not paint anything.  The advise was using various brush strokes to create the leaf "look".

Monterey CA


A composite scene from Monterey, CA.  I had an epiphany with this painting.  It has to do with the wonderful markings on the rocks.  There are grays, blacks and whites.  The whites are around the top and drip down.  And usually under sea gulls!
