All my works are inspired by my travels up and down the coast of California from San Diego to San Francisco. The coastal scenes, sunsets on the water, sail boats in the distance, and many walks through nature enjoying the beauty of trees, mountains, lakes, and flowers
My Process:
Each piece is painted with oil on canvas or panel. Oil paints are perfect for creating depth and movement. I use precise lines and vantage points to instill a sense of distance and depth in my paintings. I love working with deep colors. Each piece of fine art that I create is unique. I love using colors to get the mood across. A subdued palette creates feelings of solitude, mystery, and calm in my artwork. Likewise, soft and blended lines instill a sense of tranquility. Places of natural beauty have always inspired me. With each piece of art, I'm recreating that feeling for you.
Transparent Sail is unique in that most sailboats do not have see through sails. This painting has a lot of color including a beautiful sunrise sky with snow capped mountains along the coast line in the distance. As the sail boat drifts along silently you can slightly see it's reflection in the water. The colors in the painting are vibrant and a beautiful blend of blues for the ocean. The sky is very colorful as well portraying various shades of red, pink, and whites.
