Landscapes & Cityscapes
These are a mix of mostly oil and some acrylic paintings. Landscapes is a large category, and is divided into two parts. Included are paintings of mountains, forests, pathways, parks, buildings, inland and coastal areas, beaches, streams, lakes and harbors. It also includes nocturnes, which are paintings done of buildings at night. While most landscapes are exterior scenes, I have also painted the interior of restaurants. Geographically, these cover a large expanse, from the backyard of my home, to my neighborhood of Claremont, other parts of California, other states, and foreign countries I have visited such as Brazil, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Guatemala. Two paintings are of mountains from Patagonia, where my son Jeremy travelled in 2023. The objective in each of these paintings is the same: to render an interesting composition, capture the light and shadows, and use an interesting mix of warm and cool, light and dark colors.
