“Red or White?”
My sketchbooks keep ideas fresh. During the 2020 lockdown, I found inspiration by going through my sketchbooks. This scene, titled "Red or White?" was a drawing I did on a plane from the Hemisphere's magazine. It was a restaurant scene in Italy. I added the vineyard...

“Chardonnay Day”
Summertime! When I first moved here, I noticed that some people had license plate frames that said "Santa Maria - The Sweet Spot". I thought it was because they are known for growing delicious, sweet, XL strawberries. However, it's because of the weather! It is a...
