bluff view 10x10

I have really laid off the posting lately. I will be showing a selection of recent landscapes at the Lake Forest Cafe in Folsom next month and I have been busy getting things finished and framed. I would encourage you to check out the show. The Lake Forest makes great omelets and the coffee is fantastic.

Lake Natoma #11 8x5

I ended up not having any time to paint while I was in Santa Barbara on my little vacation. It's probably a good thing. I think I needed a little break. I'm going to be concentrating on landscapes for most of the summer.

smoky bluff 12x9

I'm not sure when this smoke is going to clear up. Things have been burning for about a week now. Every day the sun is obscured by dense gray smoke. I figured I might as well get out and document it.

Lake Natoma #10 8x6

I want to paint from this spot earlier in the day. I like this view and I'm looking forward to trying it under different conditions.

Upper Natoma 8x6

I stopped by the lake on my way home from school today. The weathers warming up again and there are only four days of class left.

bluff end #3 8x6

I've painted this spot a couple of times before. It's about a five minute walk from my house. Next time I paint it I'm going to get out there in the morning.

rain #2 8x6

We had some rain showers today. This is the view from the top of the bluff across Lake Natoma. It wasn't as windy as yesterday. It's great to be outside on a day like this. It'll be hot here soon enough.

bluff end #2 8x6

bluff top 8x6

This field is across the street from my house. It's the top of the bluff above Lake Natoma. I am discovering that there are some nice painting spots within easy walking distance from my house.
