Beneath the Cloak of Notos
60" x 72" Oil on Canvas This painting is the story of summer. As I was painting near Pima Point at the end of August in 2015, the constant play of light throughout the day brought to mind several mythological stories, especially the Greek God of the summer wind,...

Las Vegas Strip Nocturne
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...
First Touch of Winter
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...

Splendid Turmoil
54" x 84" Oil on Canvas Winter weather can hang at the Grand Canyon for many days, remaining overcast and frigid. I had stopped in the late afternoon to admire the great vistas and snow flurries from Mather Point on the South Rim, when in a magical moment, the sun...
Summer on the Escalantes
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...
The Mittens
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...
