Lower Twin Lakes


Just above Mammoth Mountain in the Eastern Sierra Nevadas is Twin Lakes, one of my favorite places! This is an excellent fishing spot, with a spectacular view. The Tamarack Lodge is a short walk away.

Storm in Gorman


Off the 5 freeway, just before Frazier Park, lies Gorman, California. You may not be familiar with the hills surrounding the area unless you are an off-road enthusiast. A beautiful time to visit the area is during winter, as a cold front blows through and fills the sky with dramatic clouds. You may even encounter some snow on the ground!

Cape Cod Honeymoon


This painting was a wedding gift for my sister and her husband, who captured this amazing image on their honeymoon in Cape Cod (hence the name). Isn't it romantic???

Big Tujunga Canyon


Admittedly, Big Tujunga Canyon has a bad reputation. The lower part of the canyon is in a sad state of neglect and pollution. But continue on up the canyon to the reservoir, and you will be rewarded with beautiful views and a remoteness that makes you forget you are about 20 miles from Downtown LA. This little scene was painted in the field, capturing a lovely spring wildflower display.

Arboretum Cottage


This beautiful Queen Anne Victorian cottage is on the grounds of the Los Angeles County Arboretum. You may recognize it from the TV show "Fantasy Island." This painting was done 'en plein air,' on-site at the gardens. I highly recommend a visit to this LA landmark!

Blue Lake


Blue Lake is an Eastern Sierra Nevada lake in the mountains above Bishop, California. My first backpacking trek led me to this amazing place (the payoff at the end of a grueling hike). This was one of the first watercolor paintings I created, while under the excellent tutelage of Ron Pekar! I was obviously having fun with salt effects in this painting...

Ahwahnee Lawn


As you may have guessed, this painting is a view from the back lawn of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park. Always a stunning view, but especially so during my favorite time of the year, autumn. There is a little footbridge to the far right that crosses the Merced River. The trees in their fall color frame the cool colors of Half Dome to a lovely effect.
