Street Strangers

This shot was taken in the theater district of Boston, MA. I think the cluster of three worked in the theather and the two girls were just walking by. The one on the left noticed me taking this photo.

Pacifica Wave (study)

The waves in Pacifica, California were very aggressive when I was there a couple of months ago. The surfers and fog were out in full force. This my first visit with this image. I decided to do a study in watercolor. Watercolor painting forces me to think in values before I even put paint to paper.

Rainy in New York

The attorney that offices next door to me recently took a trip to New York. I gave her two disposable cameras to use up for me. This is a study for a larger version. Kind of an exploratory piece. It interesting to see what she photographed and her perspective.

Day Maker

A few women that work with me always get nice flowers from their husbands, supervisors and/or partners. I always have a camera at hand to snag a shot for a future painting. This was an acrylic painting that I completed alla prima.
