"One Pelican"

Watercolor - 12 x 22" - $525

I love pelicans. They look cool flying, diving, sitting, sleeping - whatever. And I like the way this painting turned out

"Pelican"

Watercolor - 15 x 22" - $950

But not all my work is surf culture. I like painting everything around the beach, as anyone who has seen my work already knows. I entered this painting in a wildlife art show in September, and was fortunate enough to win second place with it. Winning an award was fun. I should enter in more shows.

"Cleanup Set"

Watercolor - 8 x 12" - sold

Size is relative. A six inch witewater wave can be double overhead to something. Maybe this is my problem trying to surf in San Diego. It isn't that the waves are usually too small for me. The problem is I am usually too big for them.

"Soaring Pelican"

Watercolor - 9 x 15" - $525

When the lifeguarding season of 2004 was over, I did a lot of wildlife paintings. This was one of them, and I entered it into the Del Mar Fair art show in 2005. It didn't win any awards or anything, but it was my favorite painting in the show.

"Sitting Gull"

Watercolor - 11.5 x 15.5" - $575

One day I was surfing the jetty at South Mission, and had a fun time.  And after I hung out a while and saw some really cool stuff.  This seagull was one of the things I saw, and he looked so cool.  It was like he was asking me to paint him.  So I did

"The race

Watercolor - 9 x 11" - $525 (framed)

Prints Available

I apologize for this painting. I usually try to stay away from cute or sweet paintings, but this one just slipped in. It is super cute.

“The Landing”

Watercolor - 14 x 22” - $650

This is Dike Rock that the pelican is landing on, and I was lucky enough to be ready with my camera when he was coming in.

“Lunch Time”

watercolor - 10 x 15” - $350

I was getting pretty hungry about this part of the day.  I guess the bird was as well.

“Single Gull”

Watercolor - 10 x 16” - $350

I like the birds that hang out around the beaches, and I enjoy painting them.

“Looking Right”

Watercolor - 8 x 12”

$225

Again, I’m painting wet into wet to get the background out of focus.  I figure if I keep doing it, I’ll get better and better.  I like the effect, and it makes me appreciate watercolor even more for the difficulty of it

“Coconuts”

Watercolor - 14 x 20  $750

This is a kind of wildlife.  The coconuts are alive, and the tree is too.  Coconut palms are probably my favorite kind of tree.  They look so cool, and they give the best fruit, if the coconut is a fruit.  Maybe it is a nut
