About The Artwork
I love painting the ocean views. I take many trips to the California coast every year to paint small studies on location, which then become my reference material for larger studio paintings. I love to drive along HWY 1 and discover the kind of views that make the California coastline famous – rocky reefs, rugged headlands, and the Pacific surf. I especially like to set-up my field easel at Rocky Point, one of the area’s many scenic sites of spectacular coastline. To get a closer view of the surf and the coastline, I have to get to the edge of the cliff. It is a challenge, because I have to carry all my plein air equipment, while carefully stepping over and between abundant poison oak plants. I like painting the backlit scenes – it gives me more interesting shadow patterns and some occasional highlights on the rocks edges. My last visit there, I was painting in the afternoon, facing south. I loved the mystery of purplish-blue distant mountains; and looking down, I was intrigued by the interplay of cliffs reflections breaking on the waves and their shadows on the water. I use deliberate clearly visible short brush strokes for the cliffs, to highlight their roughness and sharp edges. Even though the closer cliffs are in shadow, there are many shades of different colors: reds, greens, purples, and blues. The color of water has a huge variety of blues with green, purple and turquoise tint. Materials: Oil on oil-primed Claessens Belgian linen on 1/8 MDF archival art panel, the back of the panel finishedwith melamine that prevents warping and deterioration.

Signature member of American Impressionist Society (AIS),Signature Member of Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA); an Artist Member of California Art Club (CAC), and Oil Painters of America (OPA). All my childhood and youth I lived and breathed music. The transition from playing piano to transferring this inner music on canvas with oil paint happened later in life. I see my art as visual music. I try to bring it to life with harmonious colors, which emanate joy and peace. I infuse each of my brush strokes with its own kind of melody. My hope is that the viewers will hear the sounds and rhythms of that music as they look at my work, and it will generate the same emotions and connections that I had when painting that piece. I am inspired by the way light shapes the landscape, and I strive to capture it on canvas. I often paint en plein air (on location), which allows me to use all my senses to interpret a scene in front of me with a sense of immediacy and honesty. I choose to paint in oils, because I love their robust quality of bright, luminous colors, which are easily bendable and capable of retaining texture and showing brushstrokes. My favorite starting point for the landscape painting is the golden light of late afternoon, known as the “magic hour”, which creates the most intriguing and fascinating effects by merging captivating shadow patterns and warm, luminous color of the setting sun.
