SHERATON MARINA

I painted this from the dock in back of the Petaluma Sheraton. I was trying to simplify the scene and just try to get the sense of atmosphere and space.

SEARANCH BLUFF AT SUNSET

The last light as the sun sets is called the 'golden hour' by painters. There is a brief time when the light is very orange-gold and the shadows very blue-violet. There was so much information and color out there, it was a challenge to simplify what I saw, paint it quickly, and battle the wind that whipped up at sunset.

SEA RANCH COLORS

Sea, sky, and golden grasses were the subject of this smaller painting. It was a distillation of the colors from several days of little house studies at Sea Ranch.

SEA RANCH CLIFFS

Overlooking the rocky Northern California coast on a summer afternoon. I'm way behind in posting paintings. This was my observation of the color of the light as the sun lowered on the horizon.

SOUTHERN OREGON COAST

This was the view from the balcony of Best Western.
At sunset's last light there was such a riot of blue shadows and hot orange-pink highlights. I would have liked another go at this one.

YACHATS COAST

This was painted along the shore at the Central Oregon coast this summer. It was very overcast and began to drizzle. I guess that kept me from overworking things!

ROCKS AND OCEAN

The Pacific Coast near Asilomar

I saw this view of the ocean from a sea-weedy bluff just south of Asilomar. The composition looks like a Chinese brush painting... I used to own some and looked at them at lot- so they influenced the way I saw this scene.

CLOUDS & WATER

This is the small quick painting I did after 'MAUVE CLOUDS'. The fog was rolling in over the horizon by then.

Asilomar Seascape

Another painting day at the beach. The fog bank hung over the horizon, making the colors all purply.

WAVES CRASHING

Seascape at Asilomar beach 

This was the small study I dashed off after OCEAN WAVES. It was one of those overcast summer mornings, so the colors appeared intense without the very deep shadows of a sunny day.  I believe that is because the pupils widen to let in more light when the sky is darker.

'OCEAN WAVES'
The waves rolling in to the shore at Asilomar, California

I observed the waves rolling in for a long while before beginning to paint. They are moving so fast that you really have to paint from memory when on location at the beach. I like the way the blue-green intensifies in saturation just under the curl of foam. Paintings is always about edges, color, brushstrokes and relationships.

'PACIFIC GROVE'

I painted this small one quickly after a longer study. Its nice to have all the colors mixed, ready and just get it down. A foreign tourist watched me for a while and then exclaimed, "Isn't it wonderful, you just stand there and paint!!"...  sounds so easy.
