Title Needed!!!


This painting is in it's early stages. Subject matter was inspired by my drive on highway one along the San Francisco Bay two weeks ago.
Executed in Oil with a palette knife.

Still struggling with a title.
What do you guys think?

Summer Sundown 2008


Summer Sundown was inspired by all my trips this summer to Dallas, Puerto Rico and San Francisco.

2008 San Fran Trip


Good Morning Bay Bridge.


My most visited place in the city. Why? The FOOD!!!!!!


What can I say, as we all know the architecture in San Fran is one of a kind. Diversity is the right word.


Hard Rock and Roll Sushi???


These apartments sits on a hill like most of them do. Just look at the background.


Yummy!!! I was seafood deprived having lived in the midwest for so long. Another reason to move!!!


Fisherman's Wharf.

San Francisco Photos


On the way to Santa Cruz. Unbelievable breeze from the ocean. 60 miles of this view!!


There were many public beaches along the way.


An interesting view of the Golden Gate.


Golden Gate Bridge.


Napa Valley here we come! Here is a driveby of a vineyard on the way to Sterling.


Sterling Vineyard. Great view from the top.


These were really sweet.


These are champagne bottles in a cave. Bottled and aged for 6 years. Process seemed very complex and percise. Definitely gave me a more appreciation for champagne and wine making.


Beautiful day at sausalito.


Found a road up the mountains filled with million dollar properties with billion dollar views.


Another beautiful view.



For Dinner, I had their Alaskan Halibut with ratatouille. The fish was perfectly cooked. Moist and flaky in the inside.


You are looking at some calamari for appetizer.


Some Riesling and bread to start dinner off.


Here is Brix's garden where they actually grow and serve some of their fresh veggies.
