Lower Nelligan Road

acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20"

Nelligan Road is a gorgeous road outside the town of Glen Ellen, Sonoma County.  Roy and I lived at the end of the 4-mile-long road, and I gawked at this scene daily.

Me and My Shadow

oil on hardboard panel, 12" x 9"

I was just playing around with this study from a found photo of someone else's painting -- whose I have no idea, but was drawn to the purple sky at first.  Sky can be any color imaginable -- in fact, the sky's the limit!

Bougainvillea Pond at Haidao Island

acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20"

Another in my China series, this painting no longer exists, except for the rock formations in the foreground.  I worked on this a few months ago and was not happy with it but vowed to rework it.  I thought I would post it just for the record.

Potala Palace

acrylic on canvas, 12" x 24"

China and Tibet just won't leave me alone, so here is another in that series, a quick painting sketch of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet.

View from the Cheese Factory

I'm cheating a bit with this one, which I did around this time last year at the Cheese Factory in Marin.

Wolfy

acrylic on canvas, 12" x 12"

This painting started as an abstract, but of course I couldn't leave well enough alone, and before I knew it, I was channeling Wolf Kahn.  This time I had the sense to leave well enough alone.  

Update, 1/7/2018:  Extensive additional information on Wolf Kahn and his work can also be found at www.artsy.net.
