Walnut Creek Cliffs


Went out for a Saturday morning bike ride at walnut Creek and found this area off on a side path.
Got home, ate lunch and took Stella back out, it's a no leash park, and painted while she enjoyed the water.

Red Bud


Painted this 8x10 at lunch yesterday. The creek is close to my studio by one of the local TV stations. I kept seeing this Red Bud from the road and finally took some time to capture it. I spent about an hour on it.

Almost Spring


The last February weekend was overcast until the late afternoon on Sunday, so I rushed out to my favorite area and did this quick painting to capture the waning sun. 8x10, oil on panel.

Old Shack

This is an old ranch where most of the buildings are crumbling. I loved how some of the red paint has escaped the weather under the overhang.

Warm Winter Day


Today was an anomaly. Late January and 75 degrees. Quite a few folks took advantage of the sun and were out biking and walking. I took Stella out for an afternoon painting session.

It's supposed to be in the teens later this week, so it was nice to bike yesterday and paint today!
