Camarillo Cathedral ...


It's been too long...

I have been "attacked" by the "brain" at Google that has done something awful to my ability to post so I have had to "invent" ways to get around their systems.  Seems my "browser is no longer supported by Google".  I have no clue at all what that means but it is really upsetting.  It takes forever to post anything now and I have no clue if my make-shift methods of posting photos or comments with work - but I'll try.  I have been away from painting for too long. Lots of life-stuff got my serious attention and when that happens it's impossible for me to paint at all.  So I am back at it now with this painting I started on-location on Good Friday - 2012.  It's a start - or should I say re-start.  This camarillo church built early in the 1900's is a treasure and beautiful from so many directions.  I may do more based on the photos I took.

North Shore crossing..

On the north shore of Oahu is this neat little hang-out town, and this is the only bridge to get there from Turtle Bay. Finished it in about 5-6 total hours and enjoyed the "trip" back to this sleepy paradise with every stroke.

"Eye of the Storm"



I had called it, "Mom's House", but the more I looked at it, I realized that the title was wrong. The better title is, "The Eye of the Storm". Today this place stands in the shadow of Alzheimer's. It is the center of a family battle that is all about loss, anger, stubbornness and manipulation risen to an art form, & unresolved kid stuff from too long ago. It's all classic Alzheimer's family fall out. The house sits empty on a lovely Cape Cod acre. The price for this painting is $295,000 - and you get the house with it.
