The Point Reyes Light is in the Point Reyes National Seashore in Marin County, California. My apologies for the confusion.

"Matt's Jeep "
Watercolor 14" x 20"
Matted & Framed 25" x 31"

In collection of Carol Tracy

"Crowsline" is a new painting and the first acrylic that I've painted in sometime. It is one of three pieces that I plan to do on crows called a "Murder of Crows" from the term used for a group of crows. Crows are black, but the simularity ends there, each bird has distinct coloring and features. Click on the image to see a larger version with more detail.
