Santa Barbara Harbor XIII - 12x24

 This is the largest in my harbor series so far.  The sky turned out to be the most difficult part of the whole  piece.  It looks like it should be the most simple...and I think that was part of the problem, it was so calm while the actual harbor part was so busy.  I painted it three times before I was finally happy with it...I never do that!

Just for me :)

A version of "Lighthouse Hill" by Edward Hopper.  My kitchen had a big empty wall, and since I don't really like hanging up my own artwork (I'm much too critical!) I made this to fill the space.

Santa Barbara Harbor XII - 12x12

I was determined to finish this in one day, and as a result painted way too late into the night. My whole body ached after! But it was worth it...

Santa Claus Lane Beach House - 8x16

I'm so happy with this one,  I almost talked myself out of even starting it, but I'm glad I didn't.
