Landscape Paintings
These are paintings of landscape and animals from around my neighborhood near Scott's Flat Lake in Northern California
![]() Shoreline Stump in Winter Before the SnoOil on Canvas 36"x36". Canoeing on Scotts Flat Lake in early winter before the lake fills back up revealed a stump that would have been submerged most of the year | ![]() Head of the Lake-Scotts Flat LakeOil on Canvas 12"x36". I like to canoe to the head of Scotts Flat Lake even late in the year. It is a beautiful spot. |

![]() Seasonal Creek After the Snow Storm andOil on Canvas 12"x12". This was a creek that I used to walk my dogs,Gracie and Loosie past near my home. Loosie always took a particular interest in it. I liked how it looked kind of abstract even in life. | ![]() Cascade Shores Coyote= PasqualeOil on Canvas 12"x36". Collection of Rose and Greg Klein. This is a painting of one of the local Yodies on a nearby snowy slope. I named him Pasquale after the road I was on when I saw him. |
![]() A Day at the Lake- Early WinterOil on Canvas 30"x40" Looking out of my house at my front yard with fog and shafts of light coming through the gloom early in December. | ![]() Scotts Flat Lake Late AfternoonOil on Canvas 36" x36" This is more of a memory than an actual depiction of the lake from next to the boat ramp, where we put in the canoe, looking south toward the lake inlet. |
![]() Looking out my studio window 5 amOil on Canvas 30"x40" My dogs love to get up early to go "out". This is the view I see from my studio window while they are taking care of their business. | ![]() Shore Rocks at Scotts Flat LakeOil on Linen 30"x40". Collection of Wendy Cummins. While canoeing on Scotts Flat lake I stopped to look at this rock pile along the shore. I liked the abstract patterns and shapes the rocks made. |
![]() Shale Bank, Inlet Scotts Flat LakeOil on Canvas 30"x40" This is a painting of the rocks on the bank of Scotts Flat Lake, near the head of the lake. I liked the abstract patterns of the highlights and shadows as the play against one another. | ![]() Tree For the Forest- CedarOil on Canvas 48"x24" When I decided to return to Landscape painting, I started by Drawing this tree. I could not see this tree for the forest. Really! I could not draw it because of the other foliage. So I took a photo and painted out all that was not tree. I liked the effect so went with it. I painted the background first then obscured it, lastly painting in the tree. |
![]() Trees For the Forest-Madrone GroveOil on Canvas 12"x12". Just a Painting of a Madrone grove near my house. These trees were a favorite Stop and sniff spot on dog walks and I liked the pattern of the tree trunks. | ![]() Tree for the forest-Madrone#2, A walk in Cascade ShoresOil on canvas 40" x 30" I wanted to expand my tree for the forest series to include my wife and one of my dogs, Gracie, walking on a road in late winter with patchy snow on the ground. |
![]() Tree For The Forest- MadroneOil on Canvas 40"x30" Collection of Roschelle and Jim Griffin. This is the same technique as the cedar with a tree that is on a walk I like to take my dog on. | ![]() Tree for the Forest #5-Pine BranchOil on Canvas 36"x36" This is the 5th of the "Tree for the Forest' paintings where a tree is in a landscape and all that is not that tree is fogged over. It is also a transitional piece that started a "Pine Needle" series that will have a transparent white over a landscape background and a black or at least a dark detail of a branch of pine needles as the primary subject. |
![]() Tree for the Forest-Pine NeedleOil on Canvas 20"X20" A paring down of the tree for the forest series to its elemental detail. | ![]() Tree for the Forest-Pine Needle #2Oil on Canvas 36"X48" The second of the pine needle theme. Essential the same as the first pine needle painting only more abstracted. |
![]() Tree for the Forest -Dogwood in bloomOil on Canvas 20"x 20" Collection of Laguna Reality Assoc. Laguna Beach, CA. This Painting was requested by Debbie Restaino for the "Taste for Charity" event. I couldn't think of what to paint for her, so I took my Dogs for a run and there was this Dogwood tree in bloom lighted by the sun with the forest in darkness behind it. | ![]() Deer in the driveway #2Oil on Canvas 24" x24" In June and July 2015, the deer were coming down to get water and eat people's gardens. I finally got some good photos of some of them. This doe was standing in the forest off to the side of my house. She couldn't figure me out. |
![]() Out on the LakeOil on Canvas 30"x40" Collection of Judith Lowery and Brad Croul. While out on the lake in a friends's boat, we saw Egrets fishing on the far side of the lake in a landscape that was reminisent of a Mark Rothko painting. | ![]() Backyard Bear #1Oil on Canvas 24"x24" Collection of Fr. Bob Brooks. A painting of a yearling bear that lives in the neighborhood and marauds through backyards in search of dinner. |
![]() Backyard BearOil on Canvas 30x24 This was the same yearling Bear Looking for dinner in my neighbors backyard |
