My Latest Paintings

These are my latest paintings, done from the last few years to present. My subject matter ranges all over the map, as well as the painting style I use for each painting. Some are done alla prima, some are done in several several sessions with layer upon layer of glazes. If you have questions about any painting, please contact me and I will talk about it!

Small 9x12 landscape in acrylic

Self Portrait. They say if you are willing you always have a model. For this portrait I set up two mirrors so that the image would be as people see me and not a reverse image. That was extremely difficult!! Oil on canvas, Image is about 16x20

"Panther Creek Sunrise", oil on canvas 20 x 16". I hiked to the falls in the dark to get reference for a sunrise painting. The sun came up and blasted the trees to the upper right, and the steam rose off of the creek. What a beautiful morning!

Late Fawn, Oil on hardboard panel, 18w x 24"h. I have wanted to paint this setting as I love the tree trunk, but took years to figure out what animal to put in it. This fawn was in our front yard and I knew this was it!

Commission painting for the baby's grandmother (in the painting) from the baby's mother. It's about the bird though. Oil on gessobord, 10 x 12
