Lake Tahoe Sunset

Lake Tahoe Sunset. On an evening in June, I watched the sun look down on the lake and shimmer the water with yellow, gold hues. From the shore I watched as the day closed its eye.

Feather River California

"Feather River California" Every year Rhonda and I go camping up on the Feather River in Northern California. We spend our days at a private spot on the river overlooking this scene. It is our special place and after twenty years worth of summers there, I finally painted my version of it. If you think I'm fantasizing with the tree, I challenge you to find our spot and see for yourself.

World in Blue and Taboo

Just finished these two paintings. On "Dancing in a World of Blue" her hands, her inward stare, the slight lean, the intricate design of her dress and the back lit glare all attracted me. On Taboo, I attempted to capture emotion, expression, personality, character, and technically--folds and depth. I went with a simple background because it does not distract. I want her to pull you in. Her pouty lips and sultry eyes should do it. It took about 16-18 hours to complete. What do you all think? Was it worth the time?
