Benicia Tapestry

Relics of old fishing piers cast fractured reflections and distant hills shimmer on a quiet Benicia afternoon. Started from life, finished (and tweaked) in my imagination.

Cottage Garden

Started this in the garden behind the historic Fischer-Hanlon House in Benicia, CA, and finished at home in my cozy studio. This painting was color therapy for me on a cold, grey December day. Joy!

Peaceful Cove, Benicia

It was a joy to paint this glorious view from Matthew Turner Shipyard Park on a sparkling Benicia day, looking south toward Mt. Diablo.  This painting is now available at Benicia Plein Air Gallery as part of their special 10th anniversary group show, "Celebrating Benicia."  Learn more at www.BeniciaPleinAir.com.
