Watercolor - Dusk over the Pacific - 20" x 14"
I love the leggy, wonky shapes of these Monterey Cypress trees (Cupressus macrocarpa}. Native to the Monterey-Carmel area of California, in the early 1900s they were planted along the North Coast from San Francisco to Fort Bragg and north. This painting reflects a row of trees at the edge of a golf course. Won Honorable Mention in the WASH ‘Awash with Color’ Member Exhibition at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center, March 28-April 15, 2023. 230315. Watercolor on 300 lb. cold press paper, 20" x 14". In the artist's personal collection.

Watercolor: St. Columba, Apostle to Scotland, 14" x 20"
I've been lately about how much I owe to St. Columba (521-597 AD), an Irish abbot who became the apostle to Scotland, winning the wild Picts to Christ -- my ancestors. Columba brought 12 monks with him to Scotland about 563 AD, founding a monastery at Iona, from which missions went all over northern Scotland. In collection St. Columba's Inverness: Episcopal Church and Retreat House. 230517. Watercolor and ink, 14" x 20".

Watercolor: Ruth's Rose - 20" x 14"
On Memorial Day 2023 we were invited to a wonderful family gathering at Tina and Jackie's home in Nevada City. Outside the northwest corner of the patio was a 10 to 12-foot rosebush, crowned by a sunlit-shining rose that I sought to memorialize here. It was exhibited in the juried WASH Open Show "Go with the Flow" (August 15-September 10, 2023) and won the coveted Dorothy Steed Award. 230621. Watercolor, 20" x 14".
