Welcome to Alta... The Place To Go

Starting this afternoon through the end of July,  my work will be on exhibit at Alta Coffee Warehouse & Roasting Co. on the Newport Peninsula.  This place is the place to go for great  organic coffee, desserts, wonderful food, nightly weekend entertainment and ART!   It is a jewel tucked away on 31st Street and a must when visiting the peninsula or anytime.

"The Place To Go", 16 x 12 oil is available at:

When In Back Bay...

9x12, pastel

When I think of the back bay, I think of this bluff.  It jets out into the bay and can be seen from the south shore very well.

Took a ride down to Newport Beach to paint the canal behind my sister's house.  Well, I looked at the water and all the boats docked and went into visual overwhelm.  So I turned around and there was a red car.  So as you can see the red car won out.  While I was painting I had a few visitors.  One of which knew about this old yellow house and the 100+ year old woman that owned the house and just died 2 weeks ago.  It is a house with much needed work and will probably be rebuilt in the next few years by new owners.  So I feel pretty good about this house that called out to me.  I am sure its days are numbered.  I love these old California  simple box houses.  

I also wanted to share that 3 of my oil paintings are on display at the Orange County Fair.  I also will have 3 pastel in an all pastel exhibit in September at the Santa Ana College Gallery in the Santora Building in Santa Ana.  Both of these exhibits were juried and I am very happy my work was accepted.
