Every week, I travel with a few friends to interesting places to paint throughout the valley. Many Thursdays spent in the river bottom, a week at Yosemite, summer vacations at Dinkey Creek and Bass Lake, all give inspiration to paint.
   
 
River Transitions
My paper remained very wet on the damp early fall day this was painted. Soft, gentle colors helped create the feeling of the changing seasons.

Dormant Season
No wonder the leaves hide out until spring. It was so cold on the morning I painted this vineyard, the paint took on a frosty look.

Spring Green
Several weeks after Dormant Season was painted, I returned to this vineyard to capture the same landscape with the bright greens of spring.

Northfolk Barn
This once-important structure still stands on the county road between Fwy 41 and the little mountain town of Northfolk, serving as a landmark for lots of mountain travelers'.

Across the Tracks
This painting was inspired by the city skyline view from the Amtrak station. This semi-abstract composition has a few recognizable buildings.

Grassfire
The feeling of burning grass grew as I painted this riverside scene. Paintings usually evolve from their original idea and often turn out to be much more interesting.

Ruling the Roost
This Best of Show painting was created at a small farm in Clovis. The rooster on the perch was definitely in charge.

December 1
I thought the beautiful autumn weather would last forever but my usual Thursday morning painting session on December 1 was greeted by valley fog and bone chilling temperature. I had planned to paint this building all during November when the trees were golden and the grass still green. But when I arrived, I found that even the building seemed to know that frost and ice were here to stay for awhile.
