I’m getting into the holiday spirit early, prepping for the Santa Cruz Art League Holiday Watercolor Workshop. December 9, 2018, from 10am to 4pm. Loads of fun holiday projects and sweet treats. 
I’m thrilled to have been asked to participate at the Santa Cruz Art League, with samples of my science illustration work featured in their Spotlight Gallery. I was a sort of ancillary participant in their Planet Pulse show. 
My friend, Gerardo Aymard, sent me a photo today of the 
plant he had me illustrate back in 2003: Tetracera boomii G.Aymard C. I had a plant pressing to work from….dead, brown, not terribly exciting. Nice to see it in living color!
I was recently introduced to Fuyu persimmons by a friend. Love the orange-ness and not a bit astringent….two great reasons to have them around.
6″x6″, Oil.
These three lovelies were growing espalier at Filoli. They got me all excited about pear season. So, I rushed home and did this watercolor study. I’m rather pleased with it. You can purchase it at Daily Paintworks.com, just click on Three Pears.
Watercolor on aquaboard, 6 x 6 inches.
I have set up a marketing presence on Daily Paintworks. I’ll be posting new work every day (or there abouts) for sale. You can see (and bid) on this painting, Shallots & Onion there now.

My weekend for the Santa Cruz Open Studios Art Tour is October 11 & 12. This last year I’ve taken a number of workshops with artists I really admire: Carol Marine, Ruth Korch, and Dana Hooper. I’ve learned so much from them and think that my work has taken leaps forward. Am excited to show samples of my latest efforts.
