"High Hill Ranch Views"

While visiting Weimar, TX, we drove past this scene and I had a chance to snap a reference photo.  The fields of light tan grasses, huge Live Oaks and old crusty barns in the area were perfect!

"Seaside Park" (Marblehead, MA)

9x12" Acrylic on canvas panel 

(Bid at DPW)

This is a painting I started at on location at Seaside Park in Marblehead.  It’s one of the few places you can briefly get away from civilization with dense woods.  After a 1/4 mile, you step out of the woods into a magnificent view of the harbor with the lighthouse in the distance.

Jersey Beach (Marblehead, MA)

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel

(Bid At: DPW)

While visiting family at Marblehead, MA, I went down to the shoreline off Jersey St at sunset and painted this scene of the sun-lit house.  Beautiful area!

Palo Duro Canyon Entrance

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel

(Bid Now: DPW)

This is a plein air painting from a visit to Palo Duro Canyon in September.  If you pull over about 1/4 mi from the entrance, follow the little trail to the ledge and you can see this amazing view. 

"Galveston Getaway"

9x12" Acrylic on canvas panel

(Sold)

I revisited a plein air painting from the this summer now that I'm learning figures.  Adding people, seagulls, towels and the umbrella set-up really gave this painting the feel of a weekend at Galveston.

"Laniakea Views"

8x10 Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

10/16/12:  I finished this piece for an online workshop.  It was great to paint another beach scene.  The brilliant blues and greens of the water remind me of the Laguna Beach, California area.
