We were trying to capture the light not in a cliche way, but with the vigor such as how Turner might have done it. Of course this is is 20th Century California and not England.

Light from California



We are fascinated by the brilliant light that comes through the poppies. The flowers are simple. They bloom with just the right temperature and moisture. The petals have interesting luminous curves. I think the flowers have an intrinsic property that is different than the treatment by O'Keefe or Ed Mel. This is what we were aiming for.

Bubbles series - still life or trompe l'oeil?





We had painted a series of water paintings from streams in Lake Tahoe Calif. to fountains in the Bay Area. Linda started sketching bubbles and later incorporated them into the water backgrounds. The bubbles give a sense of the surface illusion, while " specifying" the image. If you look at the bubbles, you see the "fish-eye" reflection of the surrounding water. These were 5x7" oil on canvas.
