Crockett from Glen Cove

I love this awesome view of Crockett and the old C & H Sugar plant nestled beneath the Carquinez Bridge. Painted with friends at Glen Cove Waterfront Park in Vallejo, CA.

Sycamore Spirit

Sycamore Spirit

 

I love how sycamores grow in a big, circular family radiating out from a sheltered core, and it's amazing how far their huge, sinuous branches can cantilever out over the landscape. Sycamore Grove in Livermore CA feels like Mother Nature's sculpture garden!

Brick Beach

Brick Beach

I love this stretch of the Carquinez Strait shoreline where battered old bricks jumble along the water's edge. So refreshing painting there with my plein air buddies on a sparkling summer day!

Quiet Corner, Blake Garden

Quiet Corner, Blake Garden

Blake Garden is a cool, shady oasis tucked into the East Bay hills near U.C. Berkeley. So refreshing to paint there on a summer day when temps inland were near triple digits!

Alhambra Creek

Alhambra Creek

 

I love this view of Alhambra Creek winding its way through marshy terrain toward the Carquinez Strait. This beautiful shoreline area in Martinez, CA, has an ever-changing personality, shifting with the rhythms of the tide. So refreshing painting there with friends on a breezy July day!

Ninth Street Beach, Benicia

 

This pretty little beach disappeared before our eyes as the tide came rolling in. My plein air friends and I had to work fast!

Martinez Shoreline, July

Martinez Shoreline, July

I love the magnificent dome-shaped palms that dot the terrain along the Martinez shoreline. Instead of growing taller they seem to grow fuller and rounder, hunkering down against the wind. It was a joy painting with friends along this peaceful marshland trail on a sparkling summer day.
