Nevada City Chamber of Commerce




Nevada City Chamber of Commerce


This piece was completed for the show at Broad Street Bistro. It's an 11x14 oil and I'm happy with the way the values (lights to darks) came out. The price for this piece, framed, is $350. I recently sold the piece I did off Thai Basil Restaurant in downtown Sacramento.

Now showing at Broad Street Bistro, Nevada City, Ca.



Thanks to Theresa and the whole gang at this great little main street establishment in the gold rush town of Nevada City. This is where Lance Armstrong and all of the cycling teams launched their Tour of California. I have about 18 pieces hanging there. This one is entitled, "Jeremy Lipking's Door" which is based on the time I spent at his workshop in the Malibu area. He has a great studio and I thought he was a good teacher and an all around nice guy.

Fundraiser painting: "101 Years and Counting" completed and sold



A big thanks to benefactor and all around great guy, John Mitchell for purchasing the original oil painting. The money goes to the Livingston High School baseball program. The painting is based on a photo of the 1909 team. I'm still amazed when I think back on what life must have been like in the little farming communities at that time. This was 5 years before the start of WWI. Amazing.
