Griffiths Park in Calgary. This Plein Aire painting was my first in a very long time.

California Hillside


A larger canvas at 60"X48", we stopped at this beautiful hillside enroute between Napa Valley and "the Sea Ranch" in Northern California. The only word to describe these curvaceous hills is "sexy." This painting is still in progress, and my hope is that I catch the true depth of the scene.

Winter Spruce

I always liked this view looking south out my kitchen window. I often spotted wildlife calmly crossing the field without a care in the world as the spruce grove created a visual buffer.
