I live on Guam, up on a hill, with a fanastic view of Tumon Bay. I see the most beautiful sunsets each night. I tried to capture a glimpse of this one.

I always have lots of fun painting from still life. I suppose it is because this is what I first learned to paint from in high school. I have struggled to learn how to paint landscapes for the past two years but I am determined to get better at it. I will keep trying landscapes but every now and then I can't resist painting one more still life.

landscape studies














Taga'chang Beach and Inarajan Bay

These were landscape studies. I used just three colors and tried to focus on light, medium and dark values.
