Thanks to all who have viewed my blogs in the past, but this will be the final posting. I have learned that trying to keep up with the many avenues of social media has been a real time thief. My goal is to be in front of a canvas, not a PC.
In the future, I will publish a once per month newsletter showing new paintings and updating events. My website will be the primary go-to location of all my paintings. I will post new work to it on a weekly basis. Please check out the new, streamlined website, and go to the Newsletter tab to sign up.

This site will be be updated several times per month and limited to new events and photos of new artwork. The goal is to limit verbage.

Thanksgiving Day Update
Below are a few new pieces, some plein air and others in the studio with some new tools. I have started using linen and also added a 23" monitor for in-studio work.
Have a nice holiday season.
BERRY PICKING FESTIVAL, 24 x 30 oil on canvas panel
Late afternoon on Sauvie Island at Kruger's Farm Festival. The colors were very warm so I couldn't resist trying to get the feel of the event on canvas.
BIG SUR MEMORIES, 11 x 14 oil on linen using my photo reference (with the new monitor) from a trip that Char and I took last year.
HOYT STEPS, plein air 11 x 14 oil on canvas panel. Pretty chilly day, but the rain held off as I was finishing.

more than any other single element. An added bonus is that each purchase will

I have been fairly busy making revisions to earlier plein air and studio paintings that I was either going to scrape or touch up.
The 17 Mile Drive painting was from a photo taken while we were on vacation in Carmel, CA.
