Just Steps Away 48 X 50" (sold)

This landscape sold today to wonderful couple who were out here in San Francisco celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. I asked them what the secret to 30 years was - and she responded, "He's the accelerator and I'm the brakes...good balance. Jump on for the ride, it's quite a ride, but there is balance in it as well." I loved that. They also talked about how much they enjoyed walking together...I thought a lot about that as they left the studio...thinking about the miles and miles they had covered over all those years walking together. I was so honored to be a part of this incredible milestone for them. Happy Anniversary.

Fields of Dreams 40 X 42"

I'm always interested in seeing the first painting that finds its way onto canvas after my summer. "Fields of Dreams" has been in the works here in the studio and was finished today.

A work in progress...not finished yet.

Bits of Summer.

Missing the Atlantic.

I wake up in the mornings and really miss my morning walk to the bay to watch the sunrise. So much. The feeling of wet dew on the grass which turns into sand...then the boards which take you through the small dune to the bay...the light reflecting on the grasses, the chill in the air, and the quiet all around. It's a fleeting few moments, but treasured beyond words. I took this photo to remember the first thing my feet felt all summer around 5AM. I miss it so.

An Oar for Charity.

 in the works in my studio....above, and below, the finished piece.

The founder of Restoration Hardware, Stephen Gordon, is opening a new store in the historic lumber mill of Mill Valley called Guideboat. For the opening, he is working with artists to creatively paint on these beautiful oars all to be displayed for a charity auction he will be hosting. This is the landscape that naturally came out of me when I started tackling the surface...
