“Quiet Cove” is painting from a few years ago of a spot I visited yesterday which made me think I should have another go at this scene at a different time of day.

A “Day at the Beach” isn’t just for summer. I painted this recently on-site at Manresa just south of Santa Cruz. As I look at this today the lifeguard tower reminds me of Southern California beach towns. So awful to see the fire destruction taking place there.

This time of year in our Northern California foothills can have the look of autumn or spring depending on how much rain we’ve had. The morning I painted “Winter in Purple and Green” was gray and moody but certainly not devoid of color. #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #CaliforniaWinter

One of the great things about receiving a gift of white roses is having a go at the subtle color shifts. I’ve called this little painting “Blush.” #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #Roses

There is a series of storms lined up along the Northern California. As we think of friends dealing with fire dangers in Southern California, this is a welcome development. “Pacifica Storm” catches the arrival of a winter squall. #ArtAdventCalendsr #OilPainting #Pacifica

“As Fog Evaporates” includes a stand of coastal cypress trees just North of Half Moon Bay. We really need the rain that is expected tomorrow. Still, today is a day to enjoy the lifting fog, sunshine and clouds. #ArtAdventCalendar #OilPainting #PleinAirPainting #CoastalCypress #HalfMoonBay

I’ll be painting with friends near the location of this earlier winter painting “Winter in Silver and Green.” It hasn’t rained much this season so I am anticipating less green and more gold. #ArtAdventCalendar #oilpainting #landscapepainting #pleinairpainting #CaliforniaArt #BlueskyArt
