Its been a while since I posted an urban scene so here

it is.  "Montrose Alley"  literally painted steps from my

studio.  I was on my way for coffee when I came across 

this great atmospheric scene and so without question

I ran to the studio got my supplies and headed 

back to paint. 

Yes, it's urban!

SOLD

Ok,  I know this is not an urban scene,  but

it's right in the the middle of what is urban

near my home.  Amazingly,  many people don't 

even know this place is down the street until

they see one of my paintings and ask where 

I painted it.  John Singer Sargent painted

lots of what was around him including subjects

like this.  I was definitely influenced by him.

"Carpinteria Bluffs" Oil on linen,  7"x9"

SOLD

I love painting the Coast where I live.  California 

has some of the most beautiful coastline anywhere in the 

World.   From it's white sand beaches in the south to the 

rocky cliffs of the north there is endless subject matter

for the Plein Air painter.

"Downtown LA",  Oil,  10"x9"

"7am Montrose" Oil 8"x8"

Painted on location near my home.  You can vaguely 

see Downtown LA in the distant fog.

SOLD

"Burbank Industrial" 6"x6"

This was a recent study done locally in Burbank in

the late afternoon.  I love the abstract quality of this piece.

There is always something to paint.

SOLD

"South Rim" 6"x8" circa 2004

Available at auction on ebay.
