A friend of mine Rick Tolley, showed me this lovely spot on the Mad River. We spent the morning chasing the light as the clouds threatened rain. I really liked how the whole landscape was lit up with grey light.

My studio is at 1885 Zehndner Ave. in Arcata, we'll be open from 11am to 5:00pm June 1,2 and 8,9. Come drop by and keep me company!

Sarah Marina modeled at our figurative painting group recently. As an artist in her own right, she had many ideas in her head of what we could do. She brought many props and we worked out this pose. It was fun to have a complete scene mapped out in front of me to paint. It was a bit like engaging the creative mind of another artist.

My daughter loves to visit the chickens at her friends house. Her mother also often reminisces about her childhood pet "Cluckabell". There is a chicken affinity in their blood. I'm sure of it!

I decided to make an homage to the Madonna and child theme that I have always enjoyed in art history.
