Master Copy - Vermeer's The Geographer 20x20 Oil on Canvas My Master Copy. Raw Umber Rubout→ Grisaille→ Color glazes. This method taught me more about value and light than any other exercise in my practice. One painting. Three stages. #OldMasters #Grisaille #OilPainting #Vermeer #MasterCopy

Completed master copy of Vermeer's The Geographer, 20x20, oil on canvas. Color is applied in thin glazes over the grisaille, producing the luminous quality characteristic of Old Master painting

Grisaille layer of Vermeer's The Geographer, fully resolved in neutral grays. The complete value structure of the painting is developed before any color is introduced.

Raw Umber underpainting of Vermeer's The Geographer, executed in warm brown tones. The composition and light/shadow structure are established in a monochromatic wash on canvas.

"The Lookout" Oil on Gesso Panel, 12x16. From a photo I took at Leo Carrillo Beach. Painted alla prima, working on getting looser/spontaneous with brushwork. Leaning into the CA Impressionist tradition of capturing light and color in the moment. #OilPainting #PleinAir #CaliforniaArt #AllaPrima

Oil painting of a blue lifeguard tower on a coastal hillside. The two-story wooden structure has an American flag and a California state flag flying from poles at the top. The tower sits atop a green hillside, its vegetation rendered in loose brushstrokes. The sky is a warm golden-beige color with visible painterly texture. The painting style is loose and impressionistic with energetic, visible brushwork throughout. The dominant colors are blue (tower), gold (sky), and green (vegetation)

I have family down in La Jolla, so I visit this spot often!

What a painting! I saw a fellow art student's master copy of this, and it looked identical to the original.

“Echo Park Lake” Oil on Canvas, 18x14 DI was drawn to the way the tall palms framed the lake, and their reflections shimmered in the water. The clouds added drama to the scene—capturing a rare quiet moment in the middle of the city. #oilpainting #art #painting #ArtOnBluesky #impressionism #artist

Oil painting of Echo Park Lake on a partly cloudy day. Tall palm trees rise along the shoreline, mirrored clearly in the calm water below. Lily pads and foliage line the water’s edge. The clouds create texture in the blue sky, contrasting with the vertical rhythm of the palms.

That’s so great. I decided to pursue my art in the past two years after doing finance for a long time. Everyone has hidden talents locked away. We just need to find what’s that is.

"Low Tide" Oil on Canvas, 16x16 Painted from a photo I took at La Jolla Hermosa Park in San Diego. I wanted to capture the layered color of surf over rock, the crisp coastal air, and that late-morning light. #oilpainting #painting #art #artist #ArtOnBluesky #impressionism #landscapepainting

Oil painting of a rocky coastline at La Jolla Hermosa Park in San Diego. The view looks down over cliffs and dense greenery toward waves breaking over scattered rocks. Tall palms rise near a home on the left, with a deep blue sky above and vibrant ocean hues below.

"'The Watch' - oil on canvas 36x48 - now at Santa Monica Art Museum thru Sept 28. I captured the brilliant CA light hitting Zuma Beach with thick, expressive brushwork. I was drawn to how the golden hour transformed ordinary sand into this rich, textured landscape of color and shadow. #art #painting

Oil painting depicting a lifeguard tower on a beach at golden hour. A yellow and blue wooden lifeguard station sits on a sandy shore with a figure visible in the tower lookout. The sky features dramatic blue and white clouds against golden light. The beach sand is rendered with thick, textured brushstrokes in warm oranges and browns. Ocean waves are visible in the background with deep blue water. An American flag flies from the tower. The painting style is expressive and painterly with visible brushwork throughout

"Sunset Cliffs" Oil on Canvas, 24x18 This painting is based on a photo I took at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego. Two figures sit quietly at the cliff's edge, looking out at the vast Pacific. #oilpainting #painting #art #artist #sunsetcliffs #SanDiego #ArtOnBluesky

Two figures sit on cliffs overlooking vibrant turquoise ocean waters. The layered rock formations show warm tones of yellow, orange, and brown, with dark shadowed caves and crevices. White foam crashes against the base of the cliffs while rolling waves extend toward the horizon. The sky features soft blue and white clouds.

Thanks! I haven't sold anything, as I've been pouring my time into work and art. But I plan to sell them if people show interest

"Golden Hour" Oil on Canvas, 18x24 Based on a photo I took while driving through New Mexico. Using impressionist brushwork and a vivid palette, I aimed to capture the fleeting warmth of light on open land. #OilPainting #art #artist #sunset #impressionism #NewMexico #ArtOnBluesky

Oil painting of a Southwestern desert landscape. A stretch of open land glows under low evening light, with distant mountains and soft clouds above. Painted in an impressionist style with bold brushwork and warm, vibrant tones
