1. Day on the Bay
2. Another Day on the Bay
My own good times on the bay inspired me to capture the atmosphere created by other people's enjoyment of Sorrento and Rye.
3. City Limits
A painting about the ever expanding cities that seem to have no boundaries or limits and no sense of care for our environment.
4. The Great Divide
A self-explanatory painting of the opulence of the upper end of town and the never ending plight of our farmers.
5. Alias Fred, Fred's Free
Alias Fred is representing the spirit of freedom that lives within all of us, but only a few really know how to fly.
