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 "World in 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?
