A Grateful Heart


Today and everyday I try to keep a grateful heart, lest I lose that which I value most.

On the Beach


In the past I've often been really dissapointed with my plein air beach scenes. I realized recently that one of the problems was too cool of a palette. Here I warmed things up considerably. I can't wait to have a go at it again. 8x10

Cathedral

SOLD Retitled from work in progress: White's Bog. After finishing this I really wanted to give it a more spiritual title. Nature makes me feel that way. 20x16

Studio Show December 6th

SOLD

My 7th annual Studio art show this year is set for December 6th. I find it hard to believe that I've already done six of these open house shows...the first two were tentative starts where I sold mainly small paintings of snowmen and other whimsical subjects. Not at all in sequence with the past four...chronologically or stylistically. This year I will be featuring a small series of 4x6 winter scenes, slightly remeniscent of those first holiday themed works from the mid 1990s.
