Golden Day Painting

During a morning drive to gather painting-inspiration, I wound my way up into the hills above Glendale, California. At the top of the hill and under drifting clouds, bright sunlight bleached a quiet palm-lined street. This is the type of scene that inspires me—a compelling visual story, intense contrast, brilliant colors, and the hand-of-man dancing with nature. Exciting and joyous! My Artistic Inspiration… I’m a cityscape oil painter passionate about bright colors and deep contrast. My inspirations are the fluid light, dramatic vistas, quiet neighborhoods and stark landscapes of California and the Southwest. I paint with a vibrant palette and expressive brushstrokes to share my vision of an essence of the urban experience. I hope that the viewer will be inspired to see the world around them in a new, beautiful light.
