It was an exceptional day at Ocean Beach, Ca. This is the beach that folks in San Francisco head to on those rare warm days. This is the beach that I grew up at and enjoyed many playing in the surf and sand.. Now it's a playground for my art.

"Lyrical Abandon" 36"x52"

Lyrical Abandon was created using a slightly different technique. It provides me with a much smoother surface when I apply color. This particular piece has 15 layers of color making the depth and richness very dramatic.

Note from a wonderful client

Jack,

I'm back home and love the painting in my bedroom. It was great to meet you and your sons. Next time I'm in Sac, I'll look you up!
Keep creating!

"Color Match"

I drive past this small irrigation canal almost everyday heading to and from my home, I don't know why I have never really noticed the colors of these flowers that bloom this time of year growing in the water, but I did this day. I knew I had this piece of art that I had just taken to the Hot Springs in Mammoth lakes that would match the bloom. I walked on to the catwalk of the pump system tied a string to the art and placed it in the water among the flowers

"Seldom Seen" art Tour

Silver Lake in Mono County, Ca. This is just one lake on the June Lake loop. I stopped to give the dog a swim and stumbled upon this fantastic view, with all the snow melt the lake was full as it could be. The mosquito's were super hungry so I was in the water most of the time.

Perfect Timing

The sun was setting the water was calm, I had perfect timing. I had been trying to get a sunset photo for what seems like weeks now. There was always some type of poor condition preventing this moment from happening.
I had just spent the entire day creating works of art, then it struck me.  The day was ending, there was no wind, no rain nor clouds. I had just been down to the river a few days ago and found it swollen from snow melt and I was tired. I gathered some art together and made the short drive to the rivers edge. With little time to set up I eased the art into the frigid water
