84th Annual Statewide Exhibition

Participated in The 84th Statewide Exhibition hosted by the Santa Cruz Art League. It was great to exhibit with mentor and teacher Warren Chang who showcased the exhibition with his 3rd place entry: "Fall Tilling". It was a pleasure to exhibit and have my painting, "Sandhill Crescendo" juried by Master Panter, David Leffel.

Finalist At The ARC Salon 2013

My landscape painting: "Sandhill Crescendo,"  and my drawing: "Sabbath" were a finalists at the 2013 ARC Salon in the Landscape and Drawing categories respectively.

I am often asked to share my drawings in my sketch books:

I have created many sketch books over the years, and I try to make it a habit to sketch everyday. I use them to record what I see in nature when I am painting outside, in my studio, a life drawing class, visiting a museum or exhibition, or just writing down my thoughts. This sketch is a copy from one of daVinci's notebooks on the human anatomy using walnut ink on toned paper with watercolor.
