Hart Park Path
An 8''x10'' original oil painting created on location near Bakersfield, CA. After an overcast morning the sun decided to show itself. With quickly moving clouds and changing light patterns on the hills I had to make a decision for this composition and then stick to it. While quickly changing light can be frustrating at times, I have learned to love it as it really allows me to compose the scene to my liking.

Backtrack
Backtrack is a painting that started on location in Ajo, Arizona and then was completed in the studio using photo reference. I loved the timelessness of this scene and felt very connected to it in an odd sort of way. Originally I am from California and, while I left when I was very young, this scene somehow reminded me of when I was kid. It is 11'' tall by 14'' wide unframed.

Evening Gold
Sold out
"Evening Gold" is a 5''x7'' oil painting created on location just outside Cottonwood, Arizona. I found this scene in the late afternoon up Sycamore Canyon Road and fell in love the beautifully warm hillside and intricate shadow shapes. This is a scene I have experienced many times but somehow is different every time I see it.
La Luna
"La Luna" is a 14''x21'' painting created on location in Sedona Arizona in the late afternoon. I painted this over 4 sessions to capture that warm golden light just as the sun sets behind the distant mountains. On the first day the moon was rising in the east and I found it to balance Cathedral Rock perfectly. What incredible nature surrounds this town. The red rocks are unike anywhere else on earth.
This particular painting will come framed in a beautiful antiqued dark grey/black frame with red accents and a silver lip.
Desert Sands
A 9''x12'' oil painting created on location near Ajo, Arizona. I often hear people say things about how there isn't much to see in the desert. How brown and dead it appears. I don't blame these people because I felt the same way when I first started visiting it. The truth is, the desert has SO much life and and more you look, the more color you see. I have come to fall in love with the subtle greys of the entire color spectrum that you find in the desert. The warm purples and reds in the sands, the muted greens and oranges in the brush and the cool blues reflected in the shadows from a cloudless sky. I could spend my whole life painting the desert and never run out of scenes to paint.
Verde and Violet
An 8''x10'' painting created on location in the Organ Pipe National Monument. I was drawn to the lush desert greens juxtapose with the violets seen off in the distant hills. If you haven't been to the Organ Pipe National Monument in southern Arizona, it is a sight not to be missed!
Canyon Hues
A 7''x10'' oil painting created on location at the Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand Canyon is unlike anywhere else on earth. The scale of the place and the atmosphere is always what I am most interested in attempting to capture. I hope that this painting makes you feel in some way the way that I did standing on the edge of the south rim taking in the vastness of this incredible place.
Last of Autumn
A 10''x7'' oil painting created on location just outside Jackson, WY. I loved the fall colors especially with the Tetons as a backdrop! This painting was an exercise in not always painting the obvious. Directly to my left was the iconic view of the Grand Tetons but I decided today that I wanted to paint the subtler beauty of the changing leaves and grey tones of a field getting ready for thesnow.
