A beautiful little house on Fraser Street. (Red house, top left, click on thumbnail to enlarge)This home is full of life and the love of music.
One of the many beloved guitars, a Martin D-28, is resting on the steps, while our player goes into the house to get a snack.

The same house: The amazing Music Studio, (top right, next to the red house), built in the converted garage. Where this owner spent many happy years composing and playing. In this painting, Jerry Garcia drops in for a session. My client was very descriptive about what he wanted to include: the interior and exterior of the studio, his many instruments, collected Grateful Dead objects, like the speakers, and many other cherished objects; the sunset in the west and the starry night in the east. We also included Jerry's Tiger guitar, an astounding work of art.

Shaughnessy Home(third row, on the right, with the roses)
A very busy home with two musical children. The owner wanted to include both the front and back of the house, as well as the bridge, waterfall, and their lovely indoor pool. The children can be seen sitting in the pond area, as well as climbing their favourite cedar trees.

The other paintings featured here are some of my favourite. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.

"Rio Grande"
Every so often, the countryside takes my breath away, reflecting roads the Inner Tourist chooses, marking places my heart leaps.
A scene from my travels in New Mexico and San Diego, where I visited the home and ranch house of my great grandmother.
