Fall 2019

2019 has come to an end, but we now have 2020 to look forward to. I hope it will be an adventurous year for all. My first fall painting is of an area of Sonoma county, California that has good memories for me. It is of the road that skirts the north end of San Francisco bay from Petaluma, California to the Napa valley.


Below is a small watercolor of the Lazy mountain in the Matanuska Valley of Alaska. This depicts an early sunset at 3:00 pm (1500hr) in the Fall.


This is a painting of Birch trees that I can see out my window. The sunset glow was beautiful shining through the trees.



Another view of the Lazy mountain. it is from a photo I took on Christmas Eve 2019. I feel like CĂ©ezanne who painted Sainte-Victroire at least 40 times. But the mountains in the  Matanuska valley always have something new to offer.
