A STUDY IN ROCKS

Canyon mist flowing from a cold valley up into the warm rising sun.  Not a breath of air moves through the morning, birds still half asleep sit silent.

SNOWED IN

A dark cold evening deep in the Montana Rockies.  A warm glowing fire keeps everyone safe and secure.  Just five more months til Spring.

DUCK - FLYOVER

This work is my second largest at 24x36.  It was fun but challenging in that I had to use the flight of the ducks to dampen the bright morning sun and yet have the reflection in the water.

HIGH MOUNTAIN STREAM

Here's another first.  This painting is the largest I have attempted measuring (with frame) 3 feet X 5 feet.  Acrylic is a fast drying medium, so when I started on this painting I had to work fast and completed the work in three 45 minute sessions.

BROOK TROUT

Come the third Saturday in May and some of the best fishing begins.  The Brook Trout is a real fighter and some of the very best eating.  This painting is my first attempt at producing an underwater activity.  I also call this painting, "HOOKED ON WORMS."
