Baguette Painting – For Sale
Painting of still life with baguette. The delicious end of the loaf of french bread… that turned hard as a rock and made its way into art.
I painted this back when my still life shelf was still red (it’s gray now).

Such a beautiful place, Red Rocks outside Las Vegas, Nevada.

Walk in the woods in Blacksburg, Virginia- For Sale
Most every day in Virginia, it rained. But not this day, which was sunny and beautiful. I just finished this small studio painting last night, on the Huckleberry Trail in Blacksburg, VA.
*** Hurricane Relief Fundraiser ***
Some of you probably already saw this, but I’d like to donate money to an animal welfare organization in New York City to help with their storm relief efforts. I’m auctioning this painting, and all of the proceeds will go to Empty Cages Collective. You can read more about my effort on this blog post. And thanks again.
Cat Painting for Charity Auction
I’m normally pretty uncomfortable about donating paintings to raise money in the wake of major disasters. I hate when people turn those disasters into publicity stunts.
But last night I read a lot of personal stories on Facebook of people trying to deal with the storm and its aftermath. I won’t go into the gory details. I remember after the nuke disaster in Japan, animal charities were pretty strapped.
I would like to help if I can, and I’ll donate the proceeds from this auction to an animal charity in the disaster area, so if you like the painting, please feel free to bid in this charity auction. Bidding starts at $100, and the auction fees are waived.
The proceeds from this auction will go to Empty Cages Collective, a New York-based animal and environmental advocacy organization.

Just your typical giraffe on a foot stool.
California Mountain Landscape
A hot summer morning in the mountains near Escondido.
Cabrillo Seascape, San Diego
This is one of 3 paintings I did on location, of the waves on the rocks and the tide pools on Point Loma. They’ve all been sitting around in the studio for months, and I’m finally getting around to posting them here.
Virginia Farm
A farm in the New River Valley, with autumn just beginning to color the trees.
Bougainvillea Painting, San Diego– For Sale
A sun-splashed alley in Hillcrest, with bougainvillea spilling over the fence… and recycling bins ready for their moment in the limelight.
San Diego Seascape Painting- For Sale
Waves crashing on the rocks on Cabrillo point. I’d planned to touch up this plein air painting in the studio, but after living with the painting for a while, decided to leave it as-is. Something about the less polished state appeals to me.
Rainy Day in Virginia – For Sale
Cows on the hillside on a gray, rainy day in Virginia. This farm is located in Christiansburg, near Blacksburg and Virginia Tech.
Red Rocks Painting- For Sale
Though you can’t actually see the red rocks in this piece, maybe I shouldn’t have called it that. This is from the Red Rocks national conservation area, though, which is a very beautiful place.
San Diego Sunset Painting – For Sale
Here’s another piece from earlier in the year, that I couldn’t get a decent picture of until recently. This is one of the canyons in Balboa Park, a couple of streets away from my house.
San Diego Seascape Painting
With this painting, I was aiming for what Monet did with the cliffs at Etretat:
He did many paintings there, and I’m going to try again with this one at a lower elevation, which I hope will give the cliffs the sense of presence they have in real life.
