10" x 12" Oil on Canvas Board A quirk of my personality is that all things not related to art or painting rarely have much appeal, as was my reluctance to visit Las Vegas. Tom asked me to join him on a business trip, and of course I decided to take my paint set and...
28" x 54" Oil on Canvas Sedona has been my home for 35 years, and I have yet to grow tired of the beauty that surrounds me there. First Touch of Winter was painted when the first snow of the season dotted the tops of the cliffs. As the storm passed, the evening light...

40" x 50" Oil on Canvas The inspiration for this painting was conceived in 1986, on a painting trip to Grand Canyon with my artist friends, Earl Carpenter, Matt Smith, M.L. Coleman, and Joe Abbrescia. We naively tried to paint during a March windstorm near Mohave...

40" x 40" Oil on Canvas I have visited and painted the incredible Escalante landscape in southern Utah since the early 1970’s. At the 75th Anniversary of Grand Canyon National Park, in 1994, I heard President Bill Clinton designate 1.9 million acres of this amazing...
30" x 50" Oil on Canvas I remember the magic I felt in 1960, at age 10, when on a summer vacation road trip (without air-conditioning) my parents took us to Monument Valley. I will never forget my first greeting by the gigantic buttes of red sandstone known as the...
30" x 48" Oil on Canvas I remember seeing images of Budapest as a child and dreaming of visiting this city, which I finally did in 2003. The city did not disappoint me. The feature of this painting is the great Szechenyi Chain Bridge that connects Buda and Pest, and...

36” x 36” Oil on Canvas Following a 1993 painting trip to Bali, I painted a series of koi fish and water gardens. Inclinations was part of that series. My color palette changed considerably for a few years following my time in Bali. I think it is important for artists...
48” x 48” Oil on Canvas One of the great opportunities afforded to me by living in Sedona is the short drive from my home to Grand Canyon. Days of extreme winter weather seem to entice me to the canyon’s edge. All alone, enveloped in the silence of a fresh snow at the...
48” x 36” Oil on Canvas Early spring is an in-between season and I always look forward to the uncertainty of the weather patterns. This painting is based on a few days in mid-April while painting near Mather Point. I was painting in warm clear sunshine while snow...
12" x 19" Oil on Canvas This one-of-a-kind vista can only be seen high above the Nankoweap Delta in Marble Canyon. I was painting while standing next to ancient Ancestral Puebloan granaries. There is an unmatched elegance to this particular view of the Colorado River....

36” x 48” Oil on Canvas During the mid-1990’s I had the endurance and strength to frequently paint large canvases outdoors. This Monument Valley scene is an excellent example of that period of my work. Looking to the west, I painted Camel Butte, the Thumb, and the...
24" x 30" Oil on Canvas I spent a great deal of time in the 1990’s painting the landscapes of California. I painted this in the colorful seaside village of Pacific Grove near Monterey. This is one of many paintings that always evokes fond and loving memories. Each...
48” x 48” Oil on Canvas I have never been afraid to experiment or to express my feelings on canvas. With reflection, decades of painting have now allowed me to clearly define most of the periods of my work. Around 1992 my paint application became very impasto,...
40” x 70” Oil on Canvas This is the jaw-dropping view that one sees at the top of the switchbacks, on Highway 89A, as you descend south into Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. In the late 1980’s my paintings experienced a softening of the palette. I now look back to those...
24" x 36" Oil on Canvas For the most part, all of my plein air paintings until the 1980’s were smaller in size. As I became more aware of my own skills and instinctively realized my brain would not learn new skills if not forced into new thinking, I decided that the...
