Using my imagination, I created this nice shaded space under the trees.  Enjoy the view!

Oak Tree at Dusk on the hills of Ojai in a Pink Moment

Hiking in the California landscape I spotted an interesting ravine with the trees on either side that framed this nice composition.

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.

Hiking in Alameda, California, there is this oak tree all by itself against the green rolling hills.

Inspired by my trips to Sedona over the years here is my expression of my  magical experiences there.

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.

In the Santa Ynez Valley I captured theses poppies in a path-like setting, using some artistic license.

Walking along this path I was stopped me in my tracks to paint the view.

The perfect Spanish Hacienda! Adoring Mediterranean architecture, I couldn't resist painting my dream garden entrance that is in Montecito, California.
