Looking South along North Lemon Street in Fullerton on a bright day. Moving shadows on the streets and sidewalk, and dark tree branches above animate the scene.

This landscape began with pencil sketches done in Clark Park near my home in Fullerton. The challenge was to bring light into a dark area by letting the sky show through the trees in a few places.

Above a colorful foreground a dark grove of trees screens off a bluish landscape and a small red-roofed building. This painting done at an Orange County Park.

A view from a trail in the woods reveals a country road bounded by a fenced-in field of grass. The focal point of the painting is the group of buildings silhouetted against the sky.

Framed in a light colored wood.
