Series of Paintings at Malibu Creek State park and Surrounding Area

In a recent work I decided to focus on a beautiful area near our home, only 15-20 minutes away. It’s a park called Malibu Creek and it has many beautiful areas from valleys with hills and mountains surrounding, as well as trails and rocky areas. It provides some beautiful subject matter for landscape painting. My interest is to look at the landscape either early in the morning or later in the afternoon when the lighting is such that shadows are formed which create very interesting patterns and shapes. Each image has it's own story of how it came to be and you can find those descriptions below.

Currently these pieces are at the 
Portico Gallery in Santa Barbara.
