Beach View, Capitola – Repainted Photograph
This scene from a strangely quiet beachside restaurant is quite evocative of French paintings of the Impressionist period, in that the sight lines between the groups of people form a certain geometry that I find interesting. My exhibit of CaliBoy repainted photographs at Leedo Gallery ran through May and June – at the opening we […]

Bronze at San Juan Bautista – Repainted Photograph
Often I use multiple photographs together to achieve a certain composition in my repainted photos. This one was pure magic – the bird was in the shot as I took it, I found out only after I looked at a print later. This image is one of a series of the mission at San Juan […]

Christmas Hill Park
From Gilroy’s Christmas Hill park comes another poetic moment – two young friends talking on a warm afternoon… in January – LOL.

Mission San Juan Bautista
First I pushed the brightness and contrast, then started painting. Made several paintings, then began to combine the scenes that worked best for various areas of the scene. I added detail to the background in some areas (such as the far end of the corridor) to raise interest. I have a series of these poster […]
