Monitor & Merrimac Sunrise – 12″ x 24″ oils on canvas A “sunrise” at Monitor & Merrimac…sort of. If you look at the reference image I took (below), you can see that this is a thing that should not be. The sun doesn’t rise there! But the reference gave me Read more
SOLD: Collared Lizard – 9″ x 12″ oils on canvas Local resident from the Mill Creek WSA. These critters live in many different places in the USA, prefer rocky habitats, and come in lots of different “costumes”. The colors of this one are instantly recognizable if you live here in Read more
Sevenmile Canyon – 8″ x 10″ oils on canvas This is looking up from down in the canyon towards that spot where all the slackliners do their thing. For those who don’t know what slacklines are, see the next picture. It’s like a tightrope only…slack. Why isn’t called it a Read more
Still Water – 16″ x 20″ oils on canvas I painted scene this as a small study in 2023 (see my profile, it’s still on here) and since then I’ve tried a couple of times to paint it larger and failed. I changed quite a few compositional elements, so I’m Read more
Left Hand Morning – 8″ x 10″ oil on canvas panel A small and quick painting from a photo I took that wasn’t very good on its own.

Grandstaff Canyon – 18″ x 24″ oils on linen My favorite spot to paint in Grandstaff Canyon. This reference image had fewer rocks in the water and the brush was a tangled mess blocking the usual view. I used another reference to open up the distant view, one from after Read more
Grandstaff Canyon – 12″ x 24″ oils on canvas I took a lot of pictures of this spot before the big flood and I’m glad I did. It hasn’t returned to this look yet. I’ve painted variations on this scene several times, each time a little different. I used a Read more

Moonflower – 12″ x 16″ oils on canvas This was really difficult for me! Out of my comfort zone. I’ve tried to paint flowers before and mostly failed. I kind of like this one. Here’s some info for my friends who are not familiar with this flower, also known as Read more
