the world over including
England, France, Japan,
Russia, and Canada.
He follows his passion
for art and nature by
creating breathtaking
watercolor portraits
of sea and landscapes
from the beautiful Monterey
Bay area of California,
as well as Europe and
Mexico. J.R.'s passion
for architecture is
also demonstrated in
his works of quaint
and lovely European
villages, marinas and
villages on waterways.
J.R.

Cruz area of the central
coast of California
with his wife Pat. Together
they travel worldwide
to capture the world's

paint garden and floral
scenes as well as an
occasional still life,
all of which he does
in his detailed style
with wonderful color
and composition.
