Inspiration
Summer is around the corner and I am trying to enjoy the outdoors as much as I can but still getting work done. I love finding little things in nature that inspire me to create a painting. Funny enough the best flowers I have found are at San Clemente Art Supply, a simply amazing little garden around the storefront and beautiful palms and bamboo at San-O! Here are some little treats….

Mini Paint Sessions and Upcoming Shows!!!
I have been having so much fun with all these ideas for “mini paintings” and I decided to start and have a few showings this year. I will be showing in late April at the California Surf Museum (Oceanside, Ca) and at Blue Laguna (Laguna Beach, Ca) coming up for Art Walk the first Thursday in June! I will have small 4×4 and 5×7 paintings available to take home along with new prints and note cards filled with tons of art! I am already 8 or nice pieces in to my project and hope to have about 30 completed by June. I am also planning on showing at Sol Grill in Newport Beach, Ca so get ready for some new and exciting art in the near future. I will have more information to follow! And to add to my series I re-painted “The Secret Spot” in a mini version in watercolor! This will be the only original left in the series so if you are interested contact me! It is framed with a beautiful wood carved frame and museum glass. Ready to hang! 
*Mini Paintings will be in a new gallery on this site….
