Not sure what I was thinking when I went out early in the morning, saw a pile of a million rocks, and thought ‘yeah, that’s what I want to paint’ haha. Somehow I liked how it turned out and made it work.

It was rare to get a cloudy day during the summer and autumn months at Folsom Lake in California. I had seen only blue sky and sun for so long that I actually wanted clouds for a change. I was lucky to get a couple of paintings with clouds. This is one of them.

This is a page from my sketchbook I’ve brought with me to Malaysia for 3 months. The paper isn’t really meant for watercolors but it can handle it to some extent. It allows me to draw or sketch when I want to and paint a little when I want to. #Sabah #Malaysia #Kundasang

Almost nothing better than painting the early morning light. Trees, rocks, water, and distant hills. And beautiful light and shadows. That’s a start to a good day.

Action leads the way to inspiration. Don’t wait to create. Start and be inspired by the process.

After living in California for 12 years, I’ve now moved on and have moved elsewhere. This next year will bring many changes. Excited to see what’s to come. Embracing the change and going with the flow. It’s all less scary than I thought it would be - like most things in life.

Tried painting some chaotic rocks. Challenging is an understatement.

Windy and cold but loving the process of painting outdoors. Had an awesome trip up the northern California coast last month.

Painted this almost 1 year ago. This was painted in a sketchbook because I was too afraid to bring my tripod out and paint standing up with all my gear. A lot has changed in one year. But regardless of all that, I still like this painting. More to come soon.

Fun painting session from this weekend. If I get the chance to add a small figure to my landscapes, I go with it. Brings more scale and interest to them usually.

Ever since the water levels at Folsom Lake have risen, I’ve been painting at this particular spot. It’s fun to paint over and over and see the changes. Recently have been trying to add more figures into the paintings. More to come soon!

This was probably the coolest painting spot I’ve ever painted at. I recently took a trip up the California coast and this was one of my first stops in Fort Bragg. The ocean & rocks challenged me a bit but luckily I got a few decent paintings. Nature always wins though.
