Bright light shone on that distinctive formation one windy day.

I painted with friends up at the top of Eilings Park, looking West toward the sunset.

Oil on deep cradled birch board. OOOweee! This was fun to paint. I enticed a couple of painting pals out to the island, and was not at all sure that they would enjoy the trip. They did! I was happy.

See this painting now at the Island Brewery, a family-friendly beer tasting room in Carpinteria. http://www.islandbrewingcompany.com

Oil on linen covered birch panel. We arrived to wildly moving cloud and sun, as marine layers crept up canyons, and not far away, the water reflected bright sun breaking through the thick clouds.

Evening light on that crane against the hoses and shape of the ice house on the Santa Barbara harbor.

Prints only available. Price depends on size.

Oil on linen mounted on wood. Huge waves crashed into the air and flopped over, then created waterfalls along the rock face.

Oil on Artist Panel

Hanging off a narrow path as big waves started breaking just below, the glow of those cliffs makes it worth getting out before dawn. It was thrilling. The painting won Honorable Mention from Juror Eric Merrell, California Art Club Signature Artist, at the SCAPE show to benefit the Wildling Museum in October, 2016. Being kept in the artist's collection until a bigger piece is made from it.
