Every detail can be appreciated in true fall beauty. From the pile of leaves resting underneath the aging tree to the crisp cool air that rustles through the treetops. This piece of art delivers a hidden scent of Apple pies coming in the neighboring windows and the search for the perfect pumpkin.

What a great take on a popular classic. I really enjoy the use of new colors and how well they mesh together. It still gives the illusion of night, despite the amount of white on the page. It actually makes me think of the Aurora Borealis over the north pole. The movement around the stars and moon play nicely to create a new art piece, while still appreciating the original artist. One of my favorites!!

The power of the ocean's waves have never left me feeling strong and mighty. You have caught the true determination of the ocean's soul- to be unprovoked and courageous in its purpose. Although powerful, it still brings serenity and peace to it's crashing end.

The lonely Lighthouse, although not so lonely in this piece. It has been graced with purposeful clouds carrying the possibility of a light rain, or a crackly of lightning. The water builds in courage to adapt to its climate changes as you can almost see the movement in the sapphire waves.

Poinsettias in watercolor on water paper is one of my favorite depictions of this Christmas beauty. The details to create such art takes more concentration and skill to display the complexity of the plant. Your art is so lifelike, as mentioned before, which grabs me instantly and makes me yearn to see what else you can paint. Very nice work!

Well Tom, it looks like you kept your commitment of one piece of artwork for one year. I am so proud of you. I know how easy it could have been to skip a day or stop all together, but not you- YOU DID IT!!! You are such an inspiration to the students, parents, peers, and anyone who was lucky enough to grace the presence of your talents. I bow in your honor to keep your word and while doing so, creating wonderful art pieces to be admired and enjoyed for a very long time. All my best and congratulations!

Look at how the waves wash in the sand. I can almost hear the waves crashing and the ocean responding with repetitive motions of sand swirls and mist rising from the rocks and falling back into the sea below. Santa Cruz has many beautiful sites, and this one has been created with the heart of the city in each stroke.

Okay, I know we didn't have much of a winter this year, nor spring for that matter and now you produce this piece glorifying the autumn season and all I can think is Fall please get here NOW!! I love it, love it, love it!! I am not a summer person, nor do I want to have anything to do with the elevated temperatures and you have given me a wonderful view of what is "hopefully" yet to come. I gladly welcome any piece that encourages cool breezes, fallen leaves of crimson and burnt canary, or the skies that gradually turn from blue to a soft sunset. Give me more, pleeeaaassseeee!!

I am thoroughly enjoying your commitment to produce a new piece of art each day of 2013. It has been a joy to watch the artwork flow from your pens, your brushes, your colors, your inspirations... Great details filled with the ideal strokes to enhance the story within the picture. Fantastico!!

This is an amazing depiction of a milk jug with the brush pen. Once again, you have developed so many details with just simple strokes.

So many thoughts, so many words; just like the details in these beautifully drawn sunflowers. You have your own uniqueness and I believe I could identify your work without the indication of a name on the lower corner. You pick up some of Monet's palette, yet you have created something beyond his famous creations. There is a real passion for art here and it is abundantly clear that you have a love for art and all that she entails. Well done!

I love Canadian Geese. They are beautiful, graceful, friendly, and entertaining. When we lived in Colorado our apartment complex had a huge pond that played home to a flock of Canadian Geese. In the spring they would have many babies and my girls gave many hours to feeding and befriending these lovely creatures. Every detail in the wings, the structure of the neck, and the sweetness in the eyes makes me relieve those moments. Thank you!

Entrancing colors, unique textures, and a sunset that makes me wish I was there. The color palettes really play well together. It makes me think of different states I have traveled to.

How great that you could bring back so many memories!! Fantastic!!

This is adorable. Although in black and white, it screams a colorful depiction of childlike stories and bedtime classics. I wish I had a real one. You really have a way of capturing the adolescence of life through the eyes of a child, but attracting the dark recesses of the adult mind who still feel that we all need to play from time to time.

These are my favorite kinds of trees. They are filled with character and great places to hide from the sun and have a picnic.

Both of my daughters have drawn a picture similar to this and everytime I see them, it makes me think of something new. The blue one reminds me of a genie bottle- possibilities unlimited. The two other bottles remind me of an Italian kitchen (preferably mine some day) filled with flavored olive oils just perfect for dipping a rustic sourdough baguette. The black and white tiles add perfect detail to finish it off.

These are some of my favorite pieces you draw.

Almost too inspiring for words... but I guess I found a few; none quite as just as this picture.

Looking at the immense details of strokes and lines, it's simply impressive! Black and white, in my opinion, almost has more intense dramatization than color prints. I can appreciate every stroke because I can see the specificities along the way. Superb piece!

Being from the Bay Area I can appreciate missions such as this. I had to build one from scratch in the 6th grade and it was just as fun, if not more so, than recreating a science project.

Ah, the Truckee River... So many memories as a kid, floating down the river, catching a fish on a piece of old line and a stick, and jumping off the rocks. What really impresses is how you capture Mother Nature in both the scenery and the weather. I love the gloomy darkness. I am a big fan of mysterious pieces, especially those that make the admirer's imagination picture movement and create a story from within the art.

I'm not famliar with the radiograph pen, but I have to say I am becoming a fan. It adds a certain depth to the piece, much different than the mechanical pencil with different grades of lead.

This reminds me of my first visit to Maui. Jason and I were on the beach and as I looked up, I saw a bunch of palm trees hanging over me; as if its purpose was to watch the sungoers.

You are an amazing artist! My children, Adrienne & Abbey, have truly benefited from your experience and artistic teachings. Thank you for being such a great role model and taking my children deeper into the art world by creating hands-on techniques and multiple mediums to express their creative communications. I look forward to the many additional artworks they will be creating to hang throughout our home. :)

I absolutely love charcoal drawings. I think they add such depth, regardless of the intent from the artist. This is a great depiction of the faded years behind us with a touch of survival and the ability to be undefeated by our natural surroundings and relationships beyond acquaintances.

The simplicity in this drawing is so relaxing. Wish I was there right now! I can feel the breeze of the wind as I admire it from the blades resting on the hillside. I can close my eyes and hear the subtlities of the ocean before me. It's a nice day for a walk on the beach in your beautiful picture.
