Fisherfolk, Eckley Pier



This breezy spot along the Carquinez shoreline is a favorite with fisherfolk and plein air painters. So refreshing on a hot August day!

Round Valley Strata



I'm fascinated by the topography of the Contra Costa hills, dipping and soaring, forming a huge ruffled skirt around Mt. Diablo. Tawny grasslands and silvery oaks climb the slopes and mysterious rocky outcroppings hint at ancient layers beneath. If I'm quiet, I can start to feel the landforms flowing through my brush. What a joy to be at this place, on this day.

Diablo from Glen Cove



I love catching glimpses of Mt. Diablo from points all over the Bay Area. Its slopes are an ever-changing rainbow of light, color and atmosphere, and its familiar silhouette is a guidepost leading home. It was a joy painting this view from Glen Cove with friends on a sparkling mid-summer day.
