Roadside Attraction

acrylic on foamcore, 20" x 20"

This is a palette knife painting I did on foam core, just to see how it felt to paint on that surface.  I like it.

Setting Sun at Sowle Ranch

acrylic on canvas, 12" x 24"

This is a plein air sketch I did last weekend at Marcia Burtt's property in Southern California.  She is a fantastic artist, a gracious host, and a fountain of knowledge, which she shares generously.  I had a great time with her.

View from Denman Studio

oil on panel, 6" x 6"

This is a quick little palette knife sketch of the view from my studio in Penngrove in the early morning.  I'll be doing a larger version of this scene at some point this summer.

Another cow painting, this one from a photo I took of a Holstein straddling the blonde road in Chileno Valley, where I once lived.

On the Way to Bathpool

acrylic on canvas, 20" x 20"

This is a palette knife painting of a scene somewhere in Devon, I vaguely recall, that whooshed by me on the train to Plymouth to see friends in Cornwall last year.
