Dogtown Eucs

iPad painting, 14" x 10"

I was on my way to Bolinas the other day and got stuck in a road construction delay, so I whipped out my iPad and painted the scene to my left.  It made the time go by lickety-split!

Bolinas Lagoon on a Summer Afternoon

oil on canvas board, 8" x 10"

A plein air sketch of a section of Bolinas Lagoon in late afternoon, done with a palette knife.  The oranges of autumn are starting to appear along this beautiful stretch of landscape, of which there are many choice views along Olema Bolinas Road.

Bolinas Marsh with Eucalyptus Tree

acrylic on hardboard panel, 12" x 9"

This sketch was painted en plein air in acrylics, which means I had to work even faster than with oils.  It was really just an excuse to paint that eucalyptus trunk with all its beautiful color variations.

Bouncie and Rose at RCA Beach

acrylic on canvas, 10" x 10"

A portrait of Rose and her extraordinary Katrina rescue dog Bouncie, who passed away in 2014.  I took the photo of this in too-dim light, so the image is not very good.  Will try to get a better one and update it soon.

Bolinas Lagoon

acrylic on MDF panel, 12" x 16"

This is a plein air painting I did the other day from the roadside just outside the town of Bolinas, looking across the lagoon to the wilderness beyond.  It is a spot I will return to again because it is a scene of such staggering beauty.

Bolinas Lagoon, Low Tide

iPad painting, 10" x 14"

Rose and Bouncie at RCA Beach

iPad painting, 10" x 14"

 A sketch from a photo I took of Rose and her adorable dog Bouncie at RCA Beach in Bolinas last December.  Bouncie is a Hurricane Katrina rescue dog, and what a beautiful spirit she has, not to mention the beautiful spirit of her rescuer!
