"Grapes of Wrath" near McMinville in Oil

This painting is based on a vineyard we visited last year. I am trying to be more "painterly".

"Pull Toys" at Port Orford

On the way home from Brookings, OR we stopped at Port Orford which has a rather unusual port. The boats must be lowered into the water by a crane, and stored on wheels.

"Cash For Clunkers" in Oil

I made this painting a couple of years ago and decided I could now improve it. Oil is great for doing this. I use far more paint and color now.

Relics at Bodie in Watercolor

I have done little watercolor painting in the past few months however I was so impressed with the paintings at the recent WSO show that I have to get back into it. This is actually watercolor with a bit of gouache.

Bodie is a historical park in California.

Laura in Oil by Me and Edith Harrison

This was a joint effort with Edith Harrison my teacher. I am trying to develop this type of "painterly" style. It may take a few more years.

Corvallis In Wonderland

Corvallis is a great town and I have for a long time wanted to draw all of it on a single page. The major intersection shown is Fourth and Madison. The County Courthouse in on the top right and OSU is on the top left. And yes, it really is that colorful.

First Burger, Albany

Just opened on First Street in Albany this diner has been an instant success. I made this 20X24 painting for the owners to use as cards, etc.

Bodie, California

Bodie is a California Historical Site located near Nevada and north of Mono Lake. It is a well known destination for artists and was well documented by Ansel Adams.

Fishing Boats, Oregon Coast

This 22X28 painting was based on a small section of a photograph I took long ago and thus I don't remember the exact location. I am starting to make larger paintings.
