  On the Taylor River          Acrylic on panel                 10 x 20"                          Sold

     This view of the Taylor River , north of Gunnison, Colorado is a good example of what I am going through right now. My landscapes are starting to be more abstract and largely seem to address the horizon. But I love the way that water, be it in the form of creeks or rivers cuts through the land and the way that trees break up the sky and show light in their leaves. This feels like a learning period and I find that very exciting.

" Study in Blue "

The Aspen tree is an iconic image in Colorado and these lovely trees are painted over and over. I tried to paint an image of Aspens that honoured the tree but was a bit different from the traditional images.
" Study in Blue ", Aspens in the snow. Diptych, each panel measures 18x36". Acrylic on canvas.

Sun-up. Eastern Colorado

Acrylic on canvas 36 x 48"
This painting is just about finished, as if being done was a real thing! I'm just tightening the tree up and I can see the clouds need to be 'warmed' up a bit.

"Tire Swing"


The Taylor river above Gunnison, CO provided this scene. This is one of my favorite spots in Colorado and the fishing ain't bad neither. I like this piece because the winters here are beautiful but we still can't forget summer.
