The waterway is more likely a drainage ditch, but creek just sounds better.

I have been painting, just not very good at blogging! Happy Monday to you. It's finally wet and stormy here in Northern California. I was happy to see brooding skies and misty horizons.

Billowing Cloud

Finally finished up this one yesterday. We have remained cloudless for this winter--no rain and hardly any fog. Strangely still and dry. Fingers crossed it bodes well for a wet Spring.

Tule Fog

It feels so good to be back painting again! This one is an homage to our local Valley fog. When present, it makes driving miserable but it's gorgeous at the same time.

Pomegranate

I like pomegranates, yes I do. I like pomegranates, how about you? Happy New Year. This one is going to be awesome. I can feel it.

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I've posted. Since my two Holiday shows I haven't had much time for painting. I had these two custom orders to fill and once those were out the door it was *poof!* Holiday overdrive. Now that Christmas is over, I feel like I can share them with you without spoiling any surprises. I now feel like I have been in motion for too long. Time to settle in and get situated before welcoming the New Year.

Hazy Day, Downtown Sacramento

One last painting before the weekend! A bigger one with a more abstract feel. If you've ever driven into Sacramento, you know the downtown sprouts from what seems like golden farmland. It's a bit surreal, this urban cluster surrounded by peaceful horizons.
