Her parents used to live in San Diego and wanted the grow chart to reflect their love of the ocean. This is now in the nursery up in San Francisco.

Thanks to the Lain twins, this painting has been framed!! In Alaska, Adam cut down the cedar, and it was transported to San Diego. Once it was here, Jackson stained, Kreg jigged, and assembled it. I absolutely love it and can't wait to see it hung down in Mexico. We're also the new proud owners of a Kreg Jig, the world's best invention.

24x30" Oil.This was one of the whales we saw the morning after Adam and Annie's wedding a few years ago down in Baja. Tom was kind enough to wake up and take us fishing, but instead of catching anything, we followed this baby and her mother around the Sea of Cortez. Absolutely amazing to have witnessed so close.

Postcard from Pandora (2010)30x40" AcrylicThis painting was done for a friend who is moving from California to Germany. In an effort to merge the organic with the vibrant, this fluorescent floral arrangement was meant to remind her of the livelihood of CA during her time abroad.It was a step away from working with a subject, or even a concrete idea, but it proved to be a lesson in color theory

Last week we dropped in on another live drawing class. This was a two hour pose and it became an opportunity to work on soft lighting and heavy volume. Everyone took a different approach with a different medium for this model - charcoals, painting, tablets. One artist in particular used a variety of hot-color pastels in combination with a strong charcoal outline. I want to look further into this

Spring (2010)With a new season fast approaching ...in a town that doesn't have seasons :), this painting is the first of many new Spring paintings. I'll have to reshoot this since the lighting was too hot on the flowers and it's a longer painting that needs to be shot with a tripod, but in the interest of sharing new works....18x36" Acrylic on canvas.

Blueberry Lake (2009)This was a piece I did, much like my Baja tribute, after camping with the Lains in Alaska. "Chugach and Wrangell-Saint Elias ranges converge in what is referred to as the "mountain kingdom of North America."

Dabbling in photoshop tutorials again - hoping to refine what skill was once already there, and take advantage of all the latest in new shortcuts and software. When I eventually redo this one, I think I'll take more time to separate out key words, and create more depth by layering text- a head shot with varying contrast may help mold the words as well.

First Tracks (2009)It's hardly cold here, but in the spirit of the new season, the latest focus has been towards more robust landscapes. This painting was done as an engagement/housewarming for my longest and dearest friends Nick and Erin who are getting married next July in Utah. 20x20" AcrylicFashion Armageddon (2009) This is as done as it ever will be .

I have just reintroduced myself to charcoal and forgot how fun it is. It's awesome (and humbling) to break out of graphic-mode long enough to smuddddge my way through shapes and volumes. I could stand to be a little more fluid, use the *whole* grey scale and explore composition... that being said, more to come.Here's the Bear Grylls study next to the MATADORA...all dressed up in her pink

These are a few of the gems from this year's invitations, logos, flyers, concepts...& it's refreshing to look back and see the diversity of events: lacrosse camps, weddings, vacations, charities... Keep the need for printed pieces coming!

Marina (2009)I absolutely love marinas. Especially New England Marinas.Jamie sent me the inspiration for this one, and it's currently hung at Nick's in Baltimore Maryland. It's 36" x 24" acrylic on canvas.

Jackson bought this blank deck for me to paint (43"x 9")...our new hobby of personalizing our skateboard quiver.  All said and done, I wanted something feminine but tough, something to be respected in our little gang of all boy skateboarders :)))  (w'd up Peggy Oki)This was the result. Matadora (2009)I didn't think it was worthy enough for preservation/display (despite the hi-gloss lacquer), so
