Through the Trees

Through the Trees
36 X 24 inches
acrylic on canvas 
April 2011 


This painting was inspired by a short walk that starts at Sycamore hot springs and follows a dirt road through a tunnel of scrub oak, manzanita, and sycamore trees. Just past the tunnel of trees, the road reaches a summit overlooking Avila Bay and Port San Luis.

Drum Canyon


Drum Canyon
11 X 14 inches
acrylic on canvas
February 2011

One of the beautiful drives on the Central Coast weaves from Los Alamos Park towards highway 246 and the Santa Rita Hills near Buellton via the farm-laden Drum Canyon.  This painting is a view from the descent into the canyon during the spring when the hills are still green and mustard lines the valley floor.
