Tumultuous Seas

 Another magnificent, blustery day on the Mendocino Coast. I captured the giant wave in this painting as it was crashing far out at sea, smashing relentlessly against the rocks. What tremendous power the ocean delivers. I'm sure glad I was on the land, and not out on a boat this particular day!

Mendocino Bay

This painting was created where Big River and Mendocino Bay unite. The variety of colors, moods, and intensity
this scene can take on is truly mind-boggling. Each day totally different than the next. I painted this a few days after a storm where the muddy tones of the water had once again returned to their  glowing blues and greens. At the same time the waves retained their large, storm-like quality. If you haven't visited here, I hope this painting inspires you to do so.

 Being in daily contact with the ocean, rocks, and sky, make this the most magical place to live. What an incredible blessing it is to get to spend so many years enjoying life here on the Mendocino Coast. The ever-changing colors of the sea and sky are glorious. From turquoise to cobalt and everything in between.
The daily transitions taking place always inspire me to delve into my painting
supplies. I hope this piece evokes the feeling of Mother Nature's incredible energy.

Sea Arches

Right here on the Mendocino Headlands you can find numerous, spectacular sea arches, carved over time by the ocean's powerful force. It's mesmerizing to watch the water rush through the archways. Endless hours of entertainment for sure! Each time I do a painting of one of these sea arches, I feel totally blessed to have the good fortune of living here.

Storm Front

Another blustery, wintry day here on the northern coast of California. It looked like the birds were just trying to find a little sheltered nook in which to make their landing. The storm was blowing in full force, which is nothing unusual around here. The colors of the ocean and sky were glorious. From turquoise to cobalt and everything in between.
What a reminder of mother natures incredible force.
