Capitola Wharf at golden hour. Original watercolor painting. I love this spot for its long shadows, distant cliffs, and the rhythm of the waves.

Another Capitola Plein Air piece. Golden hour has a way of turning ordinary scenes a little more magical!

My first piece from Capitola Plein Air. I couldn’t resist this pink building with its soft late evening glow.

While I was painting, a few kids who were eating at the restaurant wandered out to watch and chat. Their curiosity and sweet comments totally made my day.

Had fun painting this sculpture at Villa Montalvo over the weekend. Interesting challenge to get soft and defined shadows in warm and cool hues. Definitely helps to use a limited palette.

“Crossing paths” - a plein air painting from Half Moon Bay, California. Tried capturing the simple rhythm of everyday life. Two friends, dogs, and a summer morning. Used liquid charcoal for this piece.
