"Early American #1"

9" x 12"

I've always admired the old indian portraits that were photographed by the army and other photographers in the 1870's and 80's. Photography was only 20 years old and these photographers brought pictures of real Indians to the "other" early Americans. Click on the image for a larger view.

"No Sun Over There"

12" x 16"

On my last trip to the Grand Canyon I was lucky to have stuck around long enough for a last minute display of amazing light. It had been an overcast sky all day and I was ready to head home when the sun had finally dipped so low that it shot rays of light all across the canyon for about twenty minutes. It got a standing ovation. Click on the image for a larger view.

"If a Tree Fell in the Water....Would it get wet?

This scene was painted from reference I shot while visiting Jackson, Wyoming. It reminded me of the famous question. "If a tree fell in the forest, would it make a sound?" I don't think this solves that mystery.

After months of illustration projects, I was finally able to get back into the swing of painting again. I closed my eyes and picked a composition from a visit to Jackson Wyoming back in '07. Click on the image for a larger view.

After what seems like a month of illustration work to devote my energy to, I was finally able to complete a piece for my blog. This is the second time that I didn't live up to my blog's name, Twiceaweek. The first time was back in May when my daughter was married at the first of the month and I had a painting workshop that kept me away till the middle of May. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things. Click on the image for a larger view.
