Measuring 12″ H x 24″ W x .75″ D, this piece is an homage to a beloved native Californian tree. Its realistic yet impressionistic style combines the precision of observation with the expressive freedom of a square brush. This timeless piece of natural beauty and skilled craftsmanship would make a beautiful addition to any collection.

Why buy an original when I can just buy the print?
A one-of-a-kind artwork will make your space your own. How often have you noticed the same Ikea artwork in several friends’ living rooms? Even if the artwork isn’t by a well-known artist, the originality of the piece evokes more of a sense of wealth and personality into your living space.

Investment
The great thing about buying artwork is that it can often appreciate in value. Unlike furniture or Pottery Barn statement pieces, artwork typically does not lose its value for having been pre-owned. Instead, if you invest smart, your artwork may be worth more after years hanging in your living room than it was worth when you first bought it.

A solitary figure sits on a bench, gazing at the bay with the city of Albany barely visible on the horizon. Framed by a striking eucalyptus tree in the foreground and surrounded by tall grasses and delicate yellow flowers, the painting's loose brushstrokes and vivid palette of blues, greens, and burnt sienna create a mesmerizing blend of realism and impressionism. The midday sun casts soft shadows, highlighting the path leading to the figure and adding depth to the scene. Painted with a square brush on birch panel, the piece invites viewers to lose themselves in both the landscape and their thoughts.

]]> Now framed and ready to hang in a custom natural wood floating frame with a 1-inch matte black shadow reveal, “Kehoe Driftwood” captures coastal stillness at Kehoe Beach in Marin County, California.

Inspired by the rugged endurance of tidal driftwood along the Pacific, the piece explores the beauty found in weathered, natural forms. Oil on fine Belgian linen (25 5/8″ x 18″) provides rich, tactile impasto textures across the grooves and knots of the wood, contrasting with the soft, open ocean horizon. A luminous burnt sienna underpainting peeks through the coastal sand, adding warmth and organic depth to the cool light. Footprints trailing into the distance invite viewers to pause and feel the calming solitude of a quiet shoreline walk.

The handcrafted floater frame allows the linen panel to hover cleanly inside a minimalist profile, fitted with an installed French cleat for secure, flush wall hanging.

The series was to express the absurdity of iconography in modern religions and their influence on art. Heavy Catholic influences from my childhood are evident as well as the connection to oil paintings that are common with Iconography from Byzantine and Orthodox Christian traditions.
