Quick update...


Sadly my father passed away last month. This has been a very difficult time for me and my family. I am very grateful for the support we have received from all of our friends and extended family.
What should I work on next?
I am getting back into artistic mode and trying to decide what to create next. You may recall that many months ago I started working on a piece that was going to be of the Newport to Ensenada sailboat race with Catalina Island in the background. Well, that just wasn't working. I finished the background with the island. Placing a bunch of tiny boats in the foreground just didn't look right. So, on to plan B: the view from a sailboat headed to Catalina. I just need to add the sailboat to finish this piece.
Then there's the piece to honor my Dad. He served on board the USS Floyd B Parks. My brother suggested that I do a piece to commemorate his years of service.
Next idea is from my favorite walking path. There was beautiful afternoon sunlight filtering through the trees. I really like this image, although I think I would make it a cobblestone path instead of the concrete.
Lastly, here is a lovely photo from one of my favorite wineries. It is Plum Hill in Oregon.
So, which one should I work on next? Send me an email by clicking on your choice below:

1. Sailboat to Catalina

2. Memorial to Dad - Navy ship

3. Walking Path

4. Winery
