Last weekend I showed at the West Portal San Francisco. Aside from getting rained out on Sunday I had a pretty good show. The 16"x12" painting "Yellow Kayak" sold along with other small unframed studies and greeting cards.

This was painted last summer on a stalk pond in Seabastopol Ca. en plein air.

Here is a painting I created using a limited palette of three colors. The colors are:

Indigo (cold deep blue)
Alizarin Crimson (Cold deep Red)
Chinese Orange (very warm orange)

These colors are great for winter scene.

Have fun!

This morning was one of those memorable times when the beautiful spring light was beaming down after all the rain we have been getting. This is what I saw as I gazed through my kitchen window. I rushed out to collect my treasure with paint to canvas. The pastel spring colors were very present.

Here is a painting that I just completed in the studio.
I originally started this seascape in plein air during
my painting trip in Carmel last January.

We had some beautiful weather last Sunday
so I took advantage of it. Here are my
neighbor's trees that I painted.
