Watercolors

Working with watercolors these days....along the beautiful Sonoma coast & the Russian River.

Experimenting

Experimenting with gouache these days. Still feel clumsy with it, but it is interesting to see how it is different from watercolor.

Johnson's Beach Day

When my friend Lola visits from Madrid, we love to hang out on Johnson's Beach. We go early and rent two umbrellas, thereby creating a lovely shaded area on the edge of the river in which to paint and enjoy the beauty of the river.

Summertime!

With school finally out, I am painting lots! Will post pics in color once paintings are finished...

Playing with watercolors

The last couple of months of school are crazy busy, so I have mainly been painting watercolor sketches.

Tools

Art Walk fun

Had a great Art Walk on April 1st at 

Kuhr-Norris Studio & Gallery. Lots of people came to celebrate & buy art!

"River Watch" finished & sold!

I loved painting this photo of the Monte Rio bridge. The reference photo was taken by my dear friend, Steve Pedersen. It sold to another dear friend from San Francisco.

Fun reception!

Artist's Reception for my show at Betty Spaghetti restaurant in Guerneville was held yesterday evening & was a blast. Delicious wine (made by my own amazing wife!) and appetizers were served, lots of people came, and 3 paintings were sold! A bunch of us stayed and had a wonderful dinner. What a glorious evening!

Betty Spaghetti Show!

Hung 15 paintings today at Betty Spaghetti restaurant in Guerneville!

In progress....painted inside the other day due to rain...started these two (5 x 7 oil on panel).

Fall season on the Russian River

Began 2 small paintings yesterday. A peaceful afternoon, watching ducks swim by...

Sonoma County Pride

The Kuhr-Norris Studio & Gallery overlooks Main Street so it was a fantastic spot to watch Sonoma County's Gay Pride Parade!

Hanging out at the studio

Now that the school year has ended, I have more time to spend in the studio! 

Summer River

Lots of new works at the gallery!

Summer Colors

Summer Colors are filling the Kuhr-Norris Studio & Gallery these days!

Watercolor sketch

This was a quick sketch done at the mouth of the Russian River on a beautiful day.

Spring in the river valley

It is spring time here in Sonoma County, and painting by the river is gorgeous!
