Thrilled that “Evening at Duke’s “ has been selected for the 9th “On Location in Malibu” presented by the California Art Club at the Frederick R. Weisman Museum at Pepperdine University. This exhibition in Malibu is held every 3 years at the Museum, and displays several larger works as the museum itself is an expansive space.

Thanks to the exhibition judges Charles Henry Rouse and Keiko Tanabe for including my watercolor "Painted Mountain”in this show. Congrats to all participating artists!
I am thrilled to have Green Velvet juried into the 2024 National Watercolor Society Members Virtual online exhibition by Larry Moore, an extraordinary painter who literally wrote the book on creativity ( Fishing for elephants). The exhibit runs online May 1 to June 30. With an online reception on Saturday May 4.
It’s exciting that my painting “Flyover Canyons of Mars” has been curated in a lunar capsule as part of the Lunar Codex project. Congrats to all my fellow CAC artists who are part of this historic exhibition.
Codex Nova - scheduled to launch February 14th via the @spacex Falcon 9 and expected to land on the lunar south pole February 21 along with Galactic Legacy Labs and the @nasa CLPS TO2-IM Lander. The launch will be livestreamed via NASA Launch Watch.
The second capsule - Codex Polaris - with my art will launch in November 2024.
“Flyover Canyons of Mars” was inspired by thinking of how the dust in the Martian atmosphere would lend itself to beautiful hazy light effects that are the perfect subject matter for watercolor.
I am so happy to share that my painting, “Coastal Canyon”12 x 12 watercolor)will be part of The Signs of Spring virtual exhibition with the California Art Club. The exhibition is online March 20-June 20. Visit the California Art Club website for more information on how to see all of the accepted work and make a purchase.
Neap Tide was painted at San Onofre state park. The Ocean is very shallow there and the waves are small and have a linear quality to them that fit the 8 x 16 format well.
I love love the color they painted the wall at the gallery.
The Surfing Madonna organization is one I admire because of the commitment to the Ocean Environment, Providing support to artists and poets and holding Surf camps for surfers with special needs.
Opening reception Sunday Jan 21 12 to 2
Here are my two painting on exhibit:
Top of the Ridge
Pleated Ridge
Top of the Ridge is a tribute to the green landscapes of William Wendt. Pleated Ridge is a favorite because the palette of colors in afternoon light on the desert ridge is so distinctive. No green at all in this painting!
