Bay Area Haze

9" x 12" oil on canvas

$75.

We don't get a lot of haze air in the San Francisco Bay Area in winter, but when we do it is kind of pretty to paint! Not so pretty to breathe of course. This area has gotten almost no rain in the past several months and it shows in the air - dusty, dry, and , well, full of color. It's perfect weather for plein air painting - but we could really use some rain.

This piece is painted on all sides of the canvas. It can be framed up, or hung as is.

See more of my work - please visit my Gallery page at the Daily Paintworks, or at the Plein Air Artists, a website showing all styles of plein air painting. There are also quite a few landscape painting pages on facebook - you can find me there!

You may, of course, return a painting you don't like, but please contact me within 3 working days. Send the painting back, and I will issue a refund, minus the full shipping fees (generally, I pay a portion of them). I want my customers to be happy with my work.

I have made every effort to match the digital color of the image you see to the paintings, but not all monitors, lighting effects or digital cameras are totally accurate and some variation will occur.

Artist's Statement

My main goal as a painter is to express the beauty I see around me. I feel that this is my mission in life, and I take it seriously.

I love the process of painting, itself, and me, color is the best part. I see color theory as an evolving concept, one that never ceases to amaze and delight, so to learn more, to do better... this is where I am a seeker!

I hope you enjoy these paintings, I think I can honestly say I work long and hard over them. Not because I'm a perfectionist - I'm certainly not - but because I understand that all these pieces will last a very long time. Artists, I think must also be craftsmen. We must strive to create a thing of integrity and (for me) beauty for others to share in and enjoy.

Thank you for looking!
