Around my house nothing is safe from the fury of my brush!

I was painting outdoors one day near Kanan Dune Rd. in Malibu when this group of actors in period dress shows up. They set up a tent and tables, threw down some blankets, and proceeded to act as though they were from that era. It was fun to watch! That's L.A. for you...

I've let way too much time go by without posting anything new...

Here is some of what I've been up to. I've found that with still lifes I feel a little more free to experiment with technique. I look for interesting contrasts in color or maybe surface qualities... Another plus with still lifes is that I can be inside the house and painting among my family as opposed to being locked away in the studio. Other times - the focus of the studio is just what the doctor ordered.
