Edge of the World


Oil on canvas 5x7 $75

The title of this one evokes the feeling of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and the series that I have been exploring in my paintings of this amazing place. This particular spot will be familiar to any of those that have hiked down the Kaibab Trail.

Sink and Mirror - An Old Friend


Oil on canvas 50x40(approx) Private Collection

This was a painting I had not seen for years, and had never taken picture of. A kind of image I will probably return to someday. More about multiplicity than unity and classical irony rather than a romantic moment. But I have always suspected that those modes (or moods) hide within each other.

Please Email me for purchase information.

Colorado Sheep


Oil on canvas 5x7 SOLD
A trip to visit old friends in Durango brought me home to Colorado which was amazingly lush and verdant.

Dust and Rain


Oil on canvas 18x24 (on display at Susan Pitcairn Gallery, Sedona AZ)
This is from a spot on the South Rim where I found myself in the rain after a day of painting waiting and waiting to see if the sun was going to make that one last appearance where it shoots a beam of light up the canyon from under the clouds.

Morning Greys


Oil on canvas 12x16 (on display at Ken Rowe Gallery, Sedona AZ)

I'm exploring more greys and earth tones lately and feeling good about the atmospherics. This started as a plein air study and was taken further back in the studio.

Camel's Back


Oil on canvas 9x12 $125

While I was painting this a number of people walked out unto the ledge of this formation, but I was shocked when one guy jumped down onto the further and smaller formation - posed for pictures - and then jumped back!

Sunday Morning Light


Oil on canvas 9x12 SOLD

Plein Air at the Grand Canyon from last weekend. When painting from life outdoors I really like to keep it spontaneous without getting overly illustrational.

Cliffhanger


Oil on canvas 9x12 $125

I blocked this painting in and it really looked like nothing...it was only as I started working very specifically - area by area, edge against edge, color against color that it became dramatic.

A Palette Knife Experiment


Oil on canvas 16x20 $300

This painting is almost all done with the palette knife, though it is a Sedona scene it somehow resonates as a South American colonial sort of thing with a hint of the tropical at a high elevation.
