Arriba y Detrás

Arriba y Detrás – Watercolor – 21 x 29 inchesMany years ago, through the generosity of friends, I was lucky to live in Spain for several months in the ancient Mediterranean port of Valencia. In general, I try to avoid painting “picturesque” scenes. This view outside my window of the backsides of neighboring flats suited my desire to paint something mundane as faithfully as possible without trying to “express” myself. But of course, it is impossible not to express yourself, isn’t it? This watercolor is the result of a couple of weeks of work.

Dawn Without Clouds

Dawn Without Clouds – Acrylic/Masonite – 11 x 15 inchesWe all know how tedious flying can be, but if you get a window seat on the left side of the plane on a flight from Sacramento to Los Angeles, you might see the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley at the same time. But you won’t see this particular scene. The painting is an invention, created from several otherwise tedious flights.
