About the small works sale

hello friends and collectors! Just a note here about this online small works sale. My work is mostly available in two wonderful galleries, but not all the smaller paintings end up there. I paint many more than I send to them, and I like to occasionally make some of these available to my friends and collectors without the added expense of framing. The small works sale pricing reflects that, and applies only to the paintings available here.

High on the Island

Santa Catalina Island, California. A dirt road cuts around the side of a steep hillside. The sun is low over the Pacific. This was the day Jack drove me and Colin all over the wild side to paint. It needed a little something so I worked on it again
