I painted this scene about a year ago but wasn't completely happy with

it. I always intended to paint it again. Well, I finally did it and it is

now listed on the Daily Paintworks auction.

I've been concentrating on painting flowers lately. The first 

time I painted this I got a little lost in all of the layers of petals.

I decided to wipe it out because it ended up looking overworked.

A few days later I made another attempt. This time I tried to be

patient and  focus on the shapes instead of "petals". I am much 

happier with the result. Click on the link above if you would like

I have just listed this in the auction at http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/495076

I visited some farms last year while on a trip to the state of Washington. This is one of the 

many beautiful sunflowers that were set against the backdrop of a deep blue sky. I loved the way

it was peeking out from behind the leaf.

Point Lobos Reflections

Point Lobos Reflections 11 x 14 oil on linen panel

There is so much inspiration for painting along the California coast.

This is a scene from the Pt. Lobos State Reserve. The sunlit rocks and contrasting 

shadows  helped to create a strong composition while the rhythmic design of the trees

adds movement throughout the painting.
