Making the Turn
Oil on Canvas, 14x18

Based on a photo I took at Venice Skatepark. I was drawn to the sharp contrast of warm light and deep shadow, and the skater caught mid-motion. I tried to focus on rhythm light and form in motion

Oil painting of a skater mid-turn at Venice Skatepark. The skater is silhouetted against golden light, carving along a concrete ramp cast in deep blue shadow. The painting uses strong contrast and an impressionist style with loose, expressive brushwork.

What a painting! I saw a fellow art student's master copy of this, and it looked identical to the original.

The mood and the light - perfection

“Echo Park Lake”
Oil on Canvas, 18x14

DI was drawn to the way the tall palms framed the lake, and their reflections shimmered in the water. The clouds added drama to the scene—capturing a rare quiet moment in the middle of the city.

Oil painting of Echo Park Lake on a partly cloudy day. Tall palm trees rise along the shoreline, mirrored clearly in the calm water below. Lily pads and foliage line the water’s edge. The clouds create texture in the blue sky, contrasting with the vertical rhythm of the palms.

That’s so great. I decided to pursue my art in the past two years after doing finance for a long time. Everyone has hidden talents locked away. We just need to find what’s that is.

"Low Tide"
Oil on Canvas, 16x16

Painted from a photo I took at La Jolla Hermosa Park in San Diego. I wanted to capture the layered color of surf over rock, the crisp coastal air, and that late-morning light.

#oilpainting #painting #art #artist #ArtOnBluesky #impressionism #landscapepainting

Oil painting of a rocky coastline at La Jolla Hermosa Park in San Diego. The view looks down over cliffs and dense greenery toward waves breaking over scattered rocks. Tall palms rise near a home on the left, with a deep blue sky above and vibrant ocean hues below.

"'The Watch' - oil on canvas 36x48 - now at Santa Monica Art Museum thru Sept 28. I captured the brilliant CA light hitting Zuma Beach with thick, expressive brushwork. I was drawn to how the golden hour transformed ordinary sand into this rich, textured landscape of color and shadow. #art #painting

Oil painting depicting a lifeguard tower on a beach at golden hour. A yellow and blue wooden lifeguard station sits on a sandy shore with a figure visible in the tower lookout. The sky features dramatic blue and white clouds against golden light. The beach sand is rendered with thick, textured brushstrokes in warm oranges and browns. Ocean waves are visible in the background with deep blue water. An American flag flies from the tower. The painting style is expressive and painterly with visible brushwork throughout
