Landscapes - Mexico Studio
Several times a year I spend time in Todos Santos in Baja California Sur. As you will see, my painting in Mexico is spontaneously influenced by the ambient light and air along the Tropic of Cancer.

Travel Sketches
When I travel I love to paint and draw. Hanging out in new locations while doing some art is a great way to soak in the local ambience and to mingle with passing people of all sorts. Most of the quick sketches are painted in watercolor or inks.

Political Art
Artists look deeply at their subject. A consequence of this is being effected by the cultural environment along with the visual. These are a few of the resulting products of my reaction to the circumstances of the time. My first political art was at the time of the Vietnam War, with, unfortunately, no shortage of provocation since.

Odds and Ends
My love of being outdoors has led to what I like to think of as a collaboration with found objects from nature. I like to highlight an unusual element or aspect of beauty to make a visual statement.

Archives
These paintings are no longer available either because of being sold, burnt in the 2009 Jesusita Fire, or in otherwise in private collections. In May 2009 a wild fire devastated homes and acreage in Santa Barbara California taking with it the storage area for my completed paintings. You may notice that many paintings in My Archives will reflect this loss as labeled with Jesusita Fire. This image Rement Painting is the only remaining portion of a painting left from around 100 paintings. As if by divine design the local old Mission was perfectly outlined by the fire. Painted on a day with a storm gathering the original image was titled Holy Storm Brewing. I now refer to it as Storm Over.
