Jacarondas




Upon arriving in Pasadena Lisa and I were astounded by the purple trees dotting the neighborhoods. We found these beautiful Jacaronda Trees in Central Park.

Just the right conditions!


If you walk the Elk Head trail at college cove during just the right conditions, you may sometimes see an enormous waterspout on the seaward side of Pewetole. It is truly a beautiful and wondrous sight, the morning I painted this piece the water was easily spouting 100+ feet! This painting is livicated to my mother Karin, with whom I have walked the trail on many blessed days!

2013




Today is the last day of 2013. Its been a great year full of art, music, friendships and family! Highlights include The Umpqua show at the Upstairs Art Gallery which truly pushed my painting and professionalism to a new level.  Showing at Natural Selections on the Arcata Plaza, which was a dream come true to be in such a great location. Having A few paintings hung backstage at Reggae on the River, and seeing so much amazing music there with Lisa! Jah Shaka at Sierra Nevada Music Festival. Getting to spend time with my family was a true blessing, and meeting Lisa's family was an honor! Being around kids and young ones makes us realize who is really important in this world, the youth! Museum hopping in LA was also a real treat for an aspiring artist, as was seeing life in another city. Sundays were also a true highlight for me, linking up with so many people who share a vibration of peace and love, be sure to check my other blog, reggae church.blogspot.com , to see some of my other works!

With that I would like to wish everyone a strong and prosperous 2014.
One peace and love til we understand

Highlights included the sustainability exhibit at the PMCA, the ceramic study room at the PAM and the overall art historical importance of the Norton Simon collection!
