My newest painting. Duck and Cover. How they told us we would survive the end of the world. Under the desk, make yourself small.

The fear is a feature, the panic is by design.

Open Studios is just a couple of months away and I'm a busy bee in the studio getting new work ready! Save the date for my weekend, October 4-5 (South County weekend)!

Acrylic on canvas work in progress.

My most recent painting. Evening with a barn swallow clicking, chirping, and swirling above my favorite spot, and the Monterey Bay as the backdrop.

Feels like a self-portrait.

Just finished. This was a joy to paint. Somewhere magical a bit north of Santa Cruz. Sand dune plants. High clouds. Cold breeze. Bright sun. Hills still green from winter rains.

Acrylic on canvas.
