California Series
The California Series paintings represent four seperate periods of work:
- 1963 - 1965, 1974 - San Francisco
- 1968 - 1971, 1973 - Manhattan Beach
- 1974 - 1976 - Hollywood and Inverness
- 1975 while living in Montecito
Born in California, I remained there until I joined the Army in 1958, returning to the Bay Area in 1961 to begin college. After picking up painting again in 1963, I would leave California as a home in 1975. All but four of the paintings below are paintings of California. The series begins with the most recent from 2008, "Bodega morning - fog breaking up," and, moving left to right, ends with a survival from childhood; a chalk piece from 1949 and the 4th grade Trees with fence. "Bodega" is the first painting of a California subject since 1975..
working at Papermill Creek, Pt Reyes Station. The painting on the homebuilt easel is Point Reyes Station from Papermill Creek 1974.
