Promise of Spring, 24 x36 (1st Place, Slopes of Diablo, 2007) Valley Art Gallery, Sold

Late afternoon, the mountain rears up luminous blue, molded with pink highlights - vibrant with the changing combinations of color. Each season brings me a new source of inspiration. A coyote crosses in front of me as I paint in his hunting path; I am very still. A Golden Eagle swooped down not far from me to capture a rabbit, and I've been told that a mountain lion has been spotted here surveying her territory. The drama of nature feeds my soul.

I am fortunate living in California. I can paint the compelling landscape en plein air 12 months out of the year. I hope you find joy and discovery in my images.
