San Luis, February

San Luis, February oil on panel 11" x 14"

Earlier the day was nicely warm but as I painted a cold wind arose and soon my fingers were numb. So I cut the painting session a bit short.

San Luis, January

San Luis, January oil on panel 11" x 14"

Early morning and the fog was just lifting. To the left coyotes cried and were answered by coyotes to the right. Then they joined into a chorus. A distant sheep dog gave a warning bark. I was thinking of coffee.

Sunset Punta Achiote

Sunset Punta Achiote watercolor 7" x 10"

We spent nearly every evening in Costa Rica sitting on the patio, looking out at the ocean and hoping to see the green flash. Twice we were successful and one evening the flash was especially pronounced and beautiful. However, this little watercolor was done on an evening when there were too many clouds to see the effect.

Bob's Guest House Dominical

Bob's Guest House Dominical watercolor 6" x 8"

This is the back side of a beautiful house that has a 180 degree view of the Pacific. I had an awkward time painting this, holding the watercolor pad in my left had while standing, a bowl of water and small pan set on the ground at my feet so that for every stroke I had to bend down then stand upright again to observe and paint.
