This is the last of my Yosemite paintings. A couple of artists sat outside of the Ahwahnee Hotel and painted. This one is simplified and has good use of light and shadow areas.

Yosemite Meadow

This was an afternoon painting of the meadow between the tunnel and Wawona. It is a beauty.

This is the old ice age slide in Yosemite.

This is another of my Yosemite paintings that is just finished up. We were in Cook's Meadow and this beautiful tree is in it wanning years.

This was painted in the meadow below Half Dome. The big oak had a beautiful gold glow as the light first hit it.

I've been working to put the final touches on my Yosemite series and this is the first one completed. I have a few more to go.

Karen's Magnolia

This is an ethereal Magnolia that shows against the sky. It was quite a challenge to paint and get the overlaps and center of interest to work.

24x20 and 25 1/2 x35 framed

This is a tree near Gray Eagle. We hiked out into the lakes area and painted. It was a bit dull when I returned to the studio so I went into it with some stronger hues. I'll probably work on it again and add some yellowish greens in front of the tree. They don't show as well as I would like in the photo. 14x11

Yosemite Falls

This is a little 6"x6" painting that I did to get ready to travel to Yosemite next week. It also serves as an escape from the current financial upheaval.

Last of the Season

It's getting to be the end of tomatoe weather so I decided to paint these before it was too late.

The Turtle

I just finished this little turtle. He is wooden and has great lines, although the wood swirls barely show from a foot or two away so he doesn't show much of that.
