"Um, do I look fat in these stripes?"


9" x 6" • oil/wrapped canvas • $75

This is another in a series of aquarium fish that I'm painting. They are so mind boggling to me... can't imagine how they would have any hope of hiding with colors like these!

Pucker Up!



9" x 6" • oil/wrapped canvas • $75

Frankly the thought of kissing a fish does nothing for me, but maybe another fish would enjoy it. These aquarium fish are so colorful and fun to paint.

Sword Plant



5" x 7" • oil/wrapped canvas • $75

These plants have always intrigued me. I have used them often in paintings when I needed "vertical" objects in the composition to make it balance and feel right.

View From Sunset Cliffs


10" x 8" • oil/wrapped canvas • $100

It was a beautiful day and I was driving around taking pictures. This time of year all the wild flowers come up and I found this vista near my house and thought what a nice painting it would make!

"I swear I ever saw her before!"



10" x 10" • oil/wrapped canvas • $120

I wonder what our little bad boy bird (at least I think it's a boy) has been up to? This is the first painting I've done in this 10" x 10" size and I really like it. The colors of these gorgeous birds made me want to paint them!

Ocean Beach House #2


9" x 6" • oil/wrapped canvas • $100

I like the architecture of this style of home. It's a few blocks from where I stayed in Ocean Beach, California and it would be nice to live here instead!
