Crazy and Great?!

Hello friends.
Things have been crazy in the studio, but great.


Awakening, Fish Hawk Lake Oregon
36x48" oils on canvas
sold at the Lake Oswego Art Festival


I had the honor of having 6 paintings selected by the beautiful new Allison Hotel in Mcminville Oregon (wine country) and I sold a great big painting at the Lake Oswego Art Festival.

Jonsrud View Point, Sandy, Oregon
30x40 oils on canvas
Sold to the Allison Hotel


Beaverton, Oregon, Wetlands
Demo done at Dragon Fire Gallery
for sale at DragonFire
17x21 oils on panel

Recently I spent 4 days at the ever wonderful town of Cannon Beach painting in Plein Air, during which time I also worked on a 36x48" painting of the area (which is at Dragonfire Gallery).

Beautiful Consensus, 36x48" oils on canvas
Ecola Park, Cannon Beach, Oregon







Ecola Head, Cannon Beach, Oregon
16x20 oils on canvas



I have been selected as one of two finalists for the large scale art work for the new Lebanon Oregon Library (wish me luck) so I have been getting my final proposal all set and working on a painting that better represents what I would do for them. The paintings I would do are up to four 48x72" landscape images from the Willamette valley area. I grew up in Lebanon, so it has been a great chance to reflect on my child hood and what hold dear from my years there.



As yet this painting has no title.
Morning Light (working title)
24x30 oils on canvas
For Lebanon Proposal

These paintings are beautiful. But where are the cowboys riding on super fast giant slugs?

Talk about one excellent landscape artist. you are definitely one. Very pretty with a strong photorealistic quality. But yours have that intensity photographers can only capture given patience or good photoshop skills.

You are in your element whenever you make a play of light and shadow. Great art works.
