The Valerie J

 Painted at Brookings Port.  The midday lighting was not real interesting and it took me a while to spot this little orange boat.  Loved the contrast of colors and reflection in the water!  I did give her a clipper bow for a more interesting profile.  Artistic license.  6x8 oil

Sunflowers

 A friend gave me these lovely flowers and pitcher vase.  I had to paint them to preserve their beauty!   9x12 oil

Grey, Calm, Cape Sebastian

 Painted Looking towards Cape Sebastian.  The water was glassy, like my eyes.  Not a breadth of wind, no white caps.  The water was a really cool color.  11x14 oil

Noah's Ark

 Painted in Brookings Port.  It was a cold, overcast morning.  8x8 Oil

Splender In The Grass

 Painted Hank in the pasture today.  The grasses were blooming purple.  11x14 oil

Reaching For The Sky

 From a visit to Stout Grove, part of Jedediah State Park just across the Oregon boarder into California.  These redwoods are magnificent.  Tried to capture their splendor.  12x6 Oil

Orange Floats

 Painted this 6x8 at Brookings Harbor, the commercial docks area.  It was a bit of a grey day but the floats hanging on the back of this boat seemed to glow.  Found out from a fisherman that walked by that the setup is used to fish for black cod.  Oil
