These two landscape paintings are very special to me, because they depict the view from the window of our first house on Palm Street in San Luis Obispo, California. Birch tree branches stretch and reach across two gallery-wrapped canvases, creating unique pieces of artwork that feel alive and full of growth.
Layers of color are thickly applied over a mixed media surface, creating rich texture and visual interest. Bold colors and dynamic composition provide an refreshing perspective of the vibrant California landscape.
“Palm Street Window: Spring”

Color has been built in layers throughout this painting. Lilac purples peek out from the blues of the sky, and the large cloud is fluffy with whites, grays and light blues. The leaves of the tree are painted with thick dabs of impasto paint, and the abstract branches seem to sprout off the surface with their thickly textured bark.

“Palm Street Window: Spanish Roof”

A bold purple mountain is the backdrop for the graphic red line of a Spanish tile roof, and the stucco textured white house. The bare tree branches intersect and divide the image, creating a very graphic and minimal landscape.
