Oak in the Pink Moment
Oak trees are in abundance in Ojai, California. Here is one I captured in the “Pink Moment” that is a special time at sunset where the sky and mountains are in an array of pink tones at dusk.
Carpinteria Bluffs
Carpinteria Bluffs is one of my favorite places for a paint out. Here’s one on a bright sunny day.
Goleta Beach Slough
Standing at Goleta beach behind my easel I enjoyed capturing the reflections from the sky into the water. This is the view looking east towards Santa Barbara, California.
Ellwood Bluffs
Ellwood Beach is a very special place for me. It’s situated above Goleta’s beaches in California. The open space with lots of trails and not many people offers serenity like no other. I captured this scene on the bluffs right before sunset.
Spring Vineyards
In the Santa Ynez Valley, there are what seems to be countless vineyards that go on for miles. I have spent a lot of time meandering its valleys and came across this perfect dreamlike scene to paint.
Sedona Sunset
Inspired by my trips to Sedona over the years here is my expression of my magical experiences there.
Topa Topas
These are the Topa Topa mountains during what the local’s call, “The Pink Moment”. Located in Ojai, California, this is what occurs as the sun goes down. The rose-hued mountains on a warm summer’s night is always magical.
Agave Blue
This agave is on Channel Drive on the bike path along Butterfly Beach in Montecito, California.
Haskell’s Beach Path
Walking along this path I was stopped me in my tracks to paint the view.
Santa Barbara Riviera
This is the view you have when looking at the mountains in Santa Barbara, all speckled with red tile roofs and palm trees. The Mediterranean climate, warm ocean breezes – it’s just paradise.
Blue Agave
The Blue Agave always attracts my attention. Along the bike path at Butterfly Beach in Montecito, California on a warm summer day, here was one complimented by sunlit glimmers through the crepe like petals of the pink bougainvillea. It all came together exquisitely.
Palms at Dusk
Set against the Carpinteria Mountains, I captured all the colors and nuances in the palm trees from the early evening light.
