 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!

White Magnolia Tree

Two Italian Cypresses

oil on zinc plate, 7" x 5"

This is the organic version of the iPad painting I posted on January 12, 2014.  The trees wanted to be slimmer.  It's not my fault!

Little Red Barn

oil on zinc plate, 5" x 7"

This little painting is based on an iPad painting I posted on December 30, 2013. Working in different media changes everything. The iPad painting is freer simply because I could work so much faster, not having to mix the colors and wipe the brushes in between applications. They are two very different paintings, but I like the sculptural quality of the tree mass in this one, as well as the rear half of the barn roof, which I left unpainted.

The Mill at Berrio Bridge

Pacheco Pond

oil on wood panel, 8" x 10"

This is a plein air sketch I did last summer that I'm posting to remind myself there is life beyond the digital format.  I've become addicted to painting on my iPad, simply because it is so fast and there is no cleanup involved or toxic fumes to inhale.  

Bathpool

The entrance to one of my favorite places on earth, Bathpool, an idyllic village in Cornwall, England.
