Deep Creek

Oil on Canvas Panel 7.5x9 Title: Deep Creek Price $270. Plein-Air

Painted this at the end of Febuary, snow was starting to go and it was a half-way decent day but still cold so couldn't do more than about 1 hour outside painting or your fingers would go num.

Tundra Swans

Studio painting done from imagination-no photo. This painting was created in about a 6 hour session. I was happy with the results and called it done. I might change it at sometime now that I've had a chance to look at it for a few months. I painted this back in January and just getting around to posting it.

Paradise Valley

Oil on Canvas Panel: 6x8 Title: Paradise Valley-Price: $190 Plein-Air

This is a Plein Air painting done in Febuary 2009. Lot of snow on the ground and it was cold out but Bob and I got out this day and got one done before we had to give it up. Couldn't feel the fingers anymore.

Westside

Oil on Canvas Panel: 9x12-Title: Westside: Price: $430.

This is a Studio Painting done from imagination, it is representational of the area I like so I'm very familiar with it and am confortable doing paintings in this manner. Which I've done all my life. I don't like painting from Photographs because it seems to confines you. I like to have more freedom and able to put my soul into things. You get that when you paint from your mind.
