Ripples of Radiance loosely depicts a koi pond in Kyoto that I visited often while living in Japan. I used acrylic paints with a palette knife to express the movement of these graceful beauties.
Light at the Top
Light at the Top is a 20×20 inch acrylic painting of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park in the winter. The warm glow of the sun at the top contrasts with the very cool feeling in the shaded valley floor. This painting brings the feeling of winter into the home in any season.
In the Waves
This 18×21 inch acrylic painting displays the multi-colored waves on a morning walk along the shore. The beautiful woman in her flowing white dress, playing fetch with her dog caught my eye. With her permission I took several photos and painted the scene in a studio. I enjoyed discovering all the variations of blues…from blue/green to blue/violet in the rolling waves and wet sand.

The Romantic Pier 7
The Transam building lines up perfectly with Pier 7 on San Francisco’s Embarcadero. The couple was standing behind me respectfully not wanting to ruin the shot. My wife said, “Go ahead, he won’t mind”.

Seismic Activity
*Best Seller
It started with a glint of sunlight from the marsh. It would take many return trips to document the essential nature of the marsh. Lens Culture said of the series, “It is essentially like recording the vibrations of nature in a different way that goes beyond the scientific record and goes to something more metaphysical”. This small sample of marsh in San Rafael persevered years of development. The camera bears witness.
Seismic Activity is part of a series featured in numerous galleries.
The Warden’s Mansion
Life persists through long-forsaken former prison buildings on the Island of Alcatraz.
