“Killer Sense Of Direction” 9″ x 12″ oils on canvas. His friends told him to live a little. He took it too far. A real bonehead move. Don’t know what to paint? I don’t have a couple of skulls and a skeleton in my studio for nothing! #skullpainting #desertskull #moaboilpainting #moabartist #moabart #oilpainter #originalart #moabmade #desertpainting

Sand Dune Arch – 9″ x 12″ oils on canvas A different angle on what I consider a kind of difficult arch to make interesting. In photographs the arch kind of blends into the background a lot. Someone suggested to me once that I should add a figure to this Read more
The Powerhouse Dam – 11″ x 14″ oils on canvas. In 1919, after the failure of a wooden dam, Moab Light and Power Company built this concrete dam, which provided power until 1945 when Utah Power and Light built a 44,000 volt power line from Price to Moab. Here’s an Read more
SOLD – Juniper At Sunset – 12″ x 12″ oils on canvas I don’t paint many trees, they rarely turn out quite like I want. I finally came up with one by starting with the “s” stroke of the trunk instead of just drawing exactly what the reference looked like. Read more
