I created this blog to share my ideas and the things I enjoy painting. Some of these paintings are recent and other may be a few months old. I'm happy and excited to have an opportunity to share my work with the folks who are interested. Hope you enjoy looking around. Please share your comments and thoughts. Thank you.

Evening in San Pedro, Memorial Day 2011
It's been a while since I just went out and painted for me. Most of my landscape classes I teach almost always involve trees and building which I enjoy but this subject matter is a little more challenging. So on Memorial Day I thought why not travel over to San Pedro to see what things I could find to paint. I started this painting around 5pm and the light was good. As time went on the light and the color really got exciting. My goal in painting is to have a focus and to try to balance the other areas that are not my focus as peripheral vision. I try to remember to let the viewer participate and not try to explain everything. This painting is a 11"x 14".
