“Sunshine and Iris Blooms” includes my paint buddy Marianne but not her easel. Hope you’re able to get out and enjoy the glories of Spring.

I have started to see California Redbud trees in bloom near me. I painted this one last year. It is now in Gallery 24 in Los Gatos. #PleinAirPainting #OilPainting #RedBud #Art

“Quiet Cove” is painting from a few years ago of a spot I visited yesterday which made me think I should have another go at this scene at a different time of day.

A “Day at the Beach” isn’t just for summer. I painted this recently on-site at Manresa just south of Santa Cruz. As I look at this today the lifeguard tower reminds me of Southern California beach towns. So awful to see the fire destruction taking place there.

I am thinking of “Swiss Winter” more as a feeling than a place. I hope your new year has begun with warmth and many reasons to smile. #OilPainting #HappyNewYear

This time of year in our Northern California foothills can have the look of autumn or spring depending on how much rain we’ve had. The morning I painted “Winter in Purple and Green” was gray and moody but certainly not devoid of color. #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #CaliforniaWinter

“Ski or Surf?” Winter days in Northern California come with options. I painted this view of a Tesla with skis and truck with a surfboard on Highway 17. #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #Winter #Hwy17

One of the great things about receiving a gift of white roses is having a go at the subtle color shifts. I’ve called this little painting “Blush.” #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #Roses

Quite a storm overnight. Looking forward to “A Walk Between Rainstorms” later today. I painted this late last winter in the foothills south of San Jose. #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #CaliforniaFoothills

There is a series of storms lined up along the Northern California. As we think of friends dealing with fire dangers in Southern California, this is a welcome development. “Pacifica Storm” catches the arrival of a winter squall. #ArtAdventCalendsr #OilPainting #Pacifica

“As Fog Evaporates” includes a stand of coastal cypress trees just North of Half Moon Bay. We really need the rain that is expected tomorrow. Still, today is a day to enjoy the lifting fog, sunshine and clouds. #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #PleinAirPainting #CoastalCypress #HalfMoonBay

I’ll be painting with friends near the location of this earlier winter painting “Winter in Silver and Green.” It hasn’t rained much this season so I am anticipating less green and more gold. #ArtAdventCalendar #oilpainting #landscapepainting #pleinairpainting #CaliforniaArt #BlueskyArt
