Garden Harmony


On a hot July day, this shady brick patio sheltered by fruit trees, trellises and flowering vines was a welcome oasis. Started in the garden of the historic Fischer-Hanlon House in Benicia, California, finished and harmonized in my imagination.

Arabesque

 


This tree has so much personality! I loved painting its twisty, turny, magical form amidst a blaze of summer color at Blake Garden in Kensington, California.

Martinez Shoreline

 


You get the big picture when you venture out into Martinez's shoreline park, with panoramic vistas of the Carquinez Strait, hill terrain, shore life and townscape. I loved this view of hills and trains, with echoing train horns lending a peaceful rhythm to the day.

Carquinez Shoreline




It was a joy painting with friends on a sparkling mid-summer day at the Carquinez Strait shoreline, just east of Crockett in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was low tide and I was able to set up my easel on a little fishing beach dotted with old broken bricks, remnants of the brick factory that once thrived here. Nature and history mingle at this beautiful, inspiring location!
