DAPPLED LIGHT

SOLD

DAPPLED LIGHT stream through the large branches of Californian oaks whenever one goes to The Corkscrew Café. This quaint restaurant lies in the heart of Carmel Valley Village, CA where the sun ALWAYS shines! And so I tried to capture it in this scene by juxta positioning intense yellows against cool blues.

SILVER JUG


SOLD

I like how this painting worked out in that the roses at the top are there but yet not over powering, letting the silver jug be the focus of the setting!
