I am currently working on a series of paintings of Indio and the painting pictured is the first one I have completed. The painting of Indio picturedContinue reading “New Painting of Indio, California”

The Beauty of the Desert
One day I took a drive up to the hills in La Quinta to an area called The Cove. It was just before the sun began to set and I went for a short hike. The landscape was beautiful and full of hiking trails. Just beyond this point is an oasis like area with picnicContinue reading “The Beauty of the Desert”
Sometimes Small is Better
I usually enjoy painting on large canvas but last week I decided to go small. A friend gave me a silver pepper mill and I thought it would be a perfect subject for a small painting.

Flip Flops
I am originally from the Seattle area and because it was rainy most of the year I never wore flip flops. In 2017 I moved to California and ended up in Los Angeles selling my art at the beach. In LA I wore flip flops all summer. They are the easiest shoe to wear whenContinue reading “Flip Flops”
The Painting Process
A few weeks ago I finished a painting of an intersection on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The painting was done from a photograph I took on one of my trips to Hollywood. I enjoy painting the unexpected or the mundane over the “touristy” spots. In my mind this painting represents the “real” Hollywood overContinue reading “The Painting Process”
