Up the Lane

 16" x 20" oil on stretched canvas

We were on our way home from picking apples and I pulled a little way up the driveway to take a picture of this beautiful farm, to the horror of my passengers, i.e. kids, in the backseat.

Another one from my trip to California. Nine of us painters at the workshop set up along the Sacramento River and painted the old factory across on the other shore. The sun was rising in our faces behind the factory so it was fun painting the shadow and the sunlight.

Commission, 36"x48" Oil on Stretched Canvas

I've been working on this one for a couple months and just delivered it this week. The family who commissioned me have a great memory with this golf hole: their mom hit a hole-in-one on it on Mother's Day 20 years ago.

I was in California for a workshop recently and painted this in the sun outside.
