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.

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.

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!

Another glorious day in the Ruth Bancroft Garden -- my inner child delights!

I loved the billowing clouds of Matilija poppies and wild scattering of California poppies gracing the yard of this vintage home in Livermore in Northern California. It was so fun painting during the "Paint Livermore" event, enjoying the lovely town and seeing old friends again!

I always love painting in this quiet, peaceful valley at Black Diamond Mines near my home in Northern California. In early summer the hills turn to gold and turquoise shadows glow through the oaks and chaparral.

It was so interesting to discover the remains of this old stone cabin along the trail at Round Valley in Northern California. Roof, doors, windows and inhabitants are long gone and a tree is growing up through the floor. Vintage ranch buildings across the creek are still in use.
