Wading Trio

A few summers ago on a hot day, our daughter and her friends braved the frigid waters of the Puget Sound to cool off.  Luckily I was there to capture some photos of it.  It's amazing how kids are not affected by the cold as much as some adults (me!).  I would have been flying out of that water and running straight for a hot shower!

This is my latest commission painting.  I was super excited to do this one!  I love the long shadows and fall colors.  Also, it's for one of my best customers!

I finally finished a painting for us!  I did a smaller version of this a while back and was so happy with the results that I decided to do a larger version just for our family.  Our times spent on our beloved sailboat, Pearl, are some of our best!  I'm always looking forward to another adventure aboard her.

Scenes From Dog Beach

This is another dog I photographed while in Los Angeles last winter.  It was at the end of the day and the light shimmering on the water was beautiful.  It was the perfect day for a dog to be at the beach!

Race To Shore

I wanted to do another "splashing" painting to refine my water painting skills, and adding dogs to it made it that much better!  I am constantly working on simplifying my strokes and being more cognizant of each time I put brush to board, in the hopes the end result will be a much "cleaner" painting.  I'm happy with the way this one turned out.

50 Yard Dash

This shepherd was having a great time at the dog beach in Los Angeles.  He was super speedy and loved running along side any other dog that would allow it.
