Clinging to the Reef

watercolor 11x14

While diving in Yap, I came across this blue starfish clinging to the reef. The cobalt blue color of these starfish is so vivid it almost doesn't seem real. I never tire of seeing these.

Pink Hibiscus -SOLD

I am pleased that this painting has found a new home. I sold this while working at the exchange on Anderson Air Force Base, here on Guam. Thanks Eric! I hope you and your wife enjoy it as much as I enjoyed painting it.

Eric if you happen to read this, please email me. I forgot to give you the "original painting" certificate. So sorry. I can mail it or bring it next time I am at the exchange.

A Gentle Giant (Manta Ray)

(photo of me hanging onto the reef)



I saw this manta ray while scuba diving in Yap during spring of 2011. He was visiting the cleaning station where I was lingering. He was one of several that I saw that day. We were up close and personal in only 20 feet of water. This gentle giant had a ten foot wing span and was ever so graceful. They put on quite a show for us. What a treat!

This painting renders a distant view of Two Lover's Point from the shore, as these local Guam sailors set sail on their Proa.
