Some people cleaned up one of the coastal brambles and a nice flat spot with shade remained. The view was changing to a different radness every few minutes. I jumped in the water and body surfed a few times. Thankful to be back at my home.

"Hot Harbor", Santa Barbara, California

"Hot Harbor", 24x36, oil on canvas, sold

Two of the hottest days of the year were spent out here near the water. I wasn't the only one hiding from the sun in the shade of the harbor buildings. The final strokes where made with a cacophony of sounds, squawking birds, ruffling sails and old fishermen gabbing. All together a decent crowd.

I made this painting a couple months ago as a commission for someone. Its one of my favorite ones of 2016. Ive got to get back out there again this time with an afternoon and green winter hills. I know people say we don't have seasons here, its not true. You just need to be more sensitive to them.

"Devereux Big View With Clouds", Goleta, California

"Devereux Big View with Clouds", Goleta. 18x36 inches, oil on canvas, sold

It was cold and windy at Devereux Point for this afternoon session. The clouds would completely fill in and then break up. When your painting a view for several hours, you really see how much it can change. The painting can end up being a disjointed combination of many different moments if your not careful. I tried my best to pick out the most exemplative colors and light. After contemplating it for a few days I decided it made the cut.

"Summerland Patchwork", from Ortega Hill, Summerland, California

"Summerland Patchwork", from Ortega Hill, 24x36 inches, oil on Canvas, sold

I really tried to capture the cloud shadows. It's not an easy task. Maybe if we had more clouds up in these parts I'd be auto. Until then I better use what I have. — in Summerland, California.

"Fall Colors on State Street", Santa Barbara, California

Oh the conversations I'm part of, while hanging on State Street! I can always count on some entertaining people, especially setting up next to a Starbucks. Luckily I'm able to keep painting while listening to some rant or another. I never stop anyone from talking but I will refill my ice tea at opportune moments... — at Distinctive Art Gallery.
