In the 1970s and 80s, Oh-my-God Hot Springs, just west of Salton City was a wonderful place to hang out. It was featured as one of the venues in the movie 'Into the Wild'. In the 90s (I think), the springs were cemented in to discourage use by vagrants. My neighbor, however loved the place and took a photograph, during the 70s, from which I painted this.

The colors from a magazine photograph inspired the serenity in this scene. Watercolor Diptych. 24" x 18" x 2. $630.

A road trip in Central California provided the inspiration for this piece. Somewhere in the area of Fort Ross, we paused to capture the quiet mood in the mist. Acrylic on panel, wraparound frame diptych. 40"x30" x 2 $1500.
Looking east toward the Chocolate Mountains at Sunset. I had previously painted this, working from a digital photograph displayed on my pc. However, this time, I tilted the screen and found a whole detail of clouds that weren't obvious at the original angle. I emphasized these, and added some white pelicans.

Another stunning cloud formation at sunrise. We don't get this every day - but they sure are worth setting the alarm clock just in case. Acrylic on panel, wraparound frame. 60"x36" $1500.
My work with multi media shadowbox pieces inspired me to do some collage pieces. This piece and the following two are collages of watercolors painted with the idea that they would be cut into collages. In each case, the plan for the pieces came about just around the time the paint was dry and it was time to wield the scissors. This piece is named for the heather effect that occurred when painting the foreground pieces. Watercolor collage. 21"x29" $600.
Here I have painted on top of a collage. Watercolor collage and watercolor. 27"x19. $580.
Based on a real Sea Crest Dawn that I painted twice and combined. Watercolor collage. 19"x26" $580.
