Rose Painting on Heart Shaped Canvas 11x14 Oil

My fiance really wanted a rose painted for her for Valentine's Day so I took it one step further and cut out a heart-shaped board and stretched canvas over that. She really enjoyed it now I just need to figure out what for next years V-Day!

Big Sur 16x20 Oil

From the california northern coast in the area between Big Sur and Monterey. I enjoyed this one as my second large coastal. The colors weren't as rich as my previous and that was to be expected with cooler waters. Also the photo will need to be retaken to control the camera flash that left a glare in the mid-right of the frame.

Southern California Coast 16x20 Oil

This painting depicts a pier in a cove. This was done from a reference photo of Dana Point Harbor as it was being developed. The pier is all that is seen and the starting of the road going down. Today there are buildings and parking lots all over the beach front and a sandbar stretching out from the point. To the south you would find the harbor. I really enjoyed doing this one. I miss California very much and am looking forward to my return this summer.

Windy Point Rocks 12x16 Oil

A rock formation just above Windy Point on the Catalina Highway in Tucson on the way up Mt Lemmon. It was sunny and very tall happy structure. How could I not paint it?

Cali Lily 3.5x5 Oil

Another attempt at a very small painting, although back to canvas! I decided that since I had done a lily before I would do a different lily!

Cherry Blossoms 2x3 Oil

Here is my second glass painting. They were both done at 2x3 because I was worried about the glass breaking over time. It was also kind of fun because I had never painted anything smaller than 5x7 before.

Cherry's 2x3 Oil

I decided to do something different and try painting on glass instead of canvas. I only did two of these on glass, and while I found it interesting and different I don't plan to do anymore on glass. Canvas is much easier to work with and for me I find that it dries too slow on glass compared to canvas. I'll stick to canvas even though these were fun!!
