The beauty of a flowering bouganvilla
always attracts me, but what intrigued
me most about this scene are the
shadows falling on the wall and the
ground
I live near Apple Hill where there are
many apple, peach, pear and cherry tree
orchards. When the trees are
blossoming, it is quite spectacular.
This scene is off of Hwy 49 . I
was struck by the dramatic sky
contrasting with the bright yellow
wildflowers... typical of early
spring in our area.
On a recent trip to Ireland I spent some
time in the city of Galway. This remarkably
peaceful scene with the swans and the
pink flowers really captured my heart and
my imagination.

The pathways at San Juan Capistrano
Mission are lined with gorgeous flowers,
including these Hollyhocks. When the
flowers and trees here are in full bloom,
it creates a dream-like atmosphere that I
tried to capture in this painting.

I love the shapes of these rocks and the
path the water is taking as it flows around
them. This is a part of the American River
that is near Pacific House.
I love the texture, shape and color of
these river rocks . They were wet and the
colors were gorgeous. I enjoyed focusing
on each rock in this study.

On a trip to San Juan Capistrano Mission
in Southern California, I was struck by the
beauty of the huge old Bouganvillas
climbing up the old stone & brick
archways.
Not too far from where I live, in the El
Dorado National Forest is a place where
we have gone canoeing called Gerle
Creek. It is very remote so its beauty is
unspoiled. As the sun sets behind the
mountains , the scene is magnificent with
blues, pinks and golds dancing and
sparkling on the water.
This majestic view is at a friend's house. It is an
amazing thing to enjoy this garden in full bloom!
All throughout Ireland are beautiful
scenes such as this green
meadow, the rock wall and the
adorable sheep all walking
somewhere in a line. We stayed in
a wonderful little village called
"Ballyvaughan" on the West Coast
of Ireland and that is where I
chanced upon this little scene and
had to paint it!

On a recent trip to the United Arab
Emirates, I fell in love with this scene in
Dubai. It was so relaxing... the sun hitting
the leaves and water, making everything
sparkle as the boat with its colorful shade
added to the exotic feel of the place

To do this Plein-Aire painting of
Jenkinson Lake, I had to load my painting
supplies and easel on a little boat and
row across to the uninhabited side of the
lake in order to capture the light falling on
the trees and water. What a peaceful
morning!

Inishmore Island in Ireland is a
beautiful, mysterious place with
rock walls throughout the island.
I love the simple, bare
landscape and the moody sky.
