Just added to my Livermore CA series

'Quintessential Livermore', 15x11 watercolor. 

I have numerous reference photos, taken on my walks around my new hometown and will continue to add to this series.

Another new one!

 Fresh off the easel:

'Autumn Glory', 10x22 watercolor on 300# paper.

This is the second of my Livermore CA series. Arroyo del Valle in Sycamore Grove Park, just a couple miles from my home. This park is such a treasure and I hike there regularly. I'll be painting more scenes from this highly photogenic place.

First of a New Series

I've just embarked on a new series of paintings featuring places and things that catch my eye around the Livermore Valley. This collection will be featured in a solo show in 2025.

This is Del Valle Lake, a major flood control and water resource for Livermore. I love kayaking on the lake in my Hobie inflatable pedal-yak.

Having fun!

 I just finished this 10.5 x 5.5 watercolor to add to my Arizona Memories collection.

I took the photo of a somewhat suggestive male anatomy cactus when hiking in the desert near Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Title: 'Avoid the Pricks' 😉😂

More memories

 Another week, another new painting for my private collection of memories.

When we visited Stonehenge June 2016, our guide extended our stay because of the amazing skies. (I omitted the walkway and fence 😉). 

'Starry Starry Night', 8x22 watercolor on paper

More good news!

 I got this email yesterday:

"Congratulations! We are thrilled to inform you that all three of your pieces have been accepted into our upcoming exhibit at the UNCLE Credit Union Art Gallery called Off the Wall."

Needless to say, I am happy to be included in this Livermore CA exhibit that will be up through January 5, 2025.

All three are 10x6 and are priced at $300; they are affordable gifts.
