“Veiled Cosmic Jelly”.
10x24 oil on board

Much of my more personal work contains lots of symbolism and totems I have adopted along the way. “The Cosmic Jelly” is one of the first. I like to put them outside of their environment (floating in the air instead of underwater. They are meant to represent the questions we don’t have answers to.

We will be having a really fun art show at the gallery. Art 5-7 music by “Identical Homes” 7-8. Both my kids will be showing work and my wife will have some food laid out. I will be putting out a flyer on here soon! June 20,
Should be fun

“Fujairah, Acacia Valley”
18x36 oil on canvas

This is my first bigger piece based off of a small plein air I did while in the UAE (last slide)! Super fun to paint and I was fortunate enough to have visited during an unseasonal rain pattern that fortunately added some green to an otherwise dry (though beautiful) landscape.

So excited to be offering painting classes again. We plan a wide range of lessons so stay tuned!

“CV Road (Looking South)”
9x12 oil on panel
Available! Dm if interested!

One of my favorite spots on earth. I spend a ton of time here. It’s a place that has changed so much over the last 20 years and thinking back, I find it hard to believe that it used to be so different. But the great thing is this place always has a way of making erosion and change look good. I know I may be partial, but when the California sun starts to get low in the summer, the beauty keeps on giving.

‘The Crow and the Cat”
12x18 oil on panel
This is my first painting from my short trip to Istanbul a few weeks ago. Seems like a lifetime for some reason. I was fortunate enough to spend a few days in this incredible city. I took a ton of great pictures to paint from and plan on painting from them.

As I am sure many of you know, the place is absolutely riddled with cats and the Hooded Crow. I learned about the relationship these two animals have. Some have alliances and share the food that is provided to the cats by the people who live there, and of course some are enemy’s and are at odds with each other.

It’s a perfect example of the different realities going on right under our noses. This whole world going on between these two species that if you didn’t think about it, you may not know it exists. I imagine all the different storylines going on between them.

Looking forward to painting more from this short stay in this incredible city.

“Spring Skies”
14x24
Acrylic on board
AVAILABLE!

This is the view from my driveway looking north east. I always try to capture the sky in this direction as the eastern coastal range gives beautiful views of the thunderheads that they create as they sometimes spill into the Eel River valley.

This piece was heading overseas but couldn’t make it… yet! It’s available so DM if interested

“The Wall @ Pavones”
14x24 oil on board

This is another piece I just completed to take with me to the UAE and is yet another from the images I collected during a trip to Costa Rica a couple years ago.

Every evening, everyone meets at this seawall right around sunset. It’s right around the middle section of the wave which also happens to be where the sun sets. Pretty spectacular when there is some swell running and some clouds. It becomes easy to understand why everyone gathers there.

“Quinn Road”
14x24 oil on board

Here is another one headed over to the UAE. I had a whole bunch of pictures I had yet to paint and this was one of them. This is just about 500 yards from my mother in laws house so I drive by this spot all the time. Unobstructed views to the west are on offer as the sloping hills of Table Bluff lead to the sea. Incredible sunsets are common!

The idea was to do a few pieces with some warmth. I don’t paint many sunsets but they are fun and this one was great to get the colors back in my head!
