"Snow in the Shade" 8"x10" (Click here to bid on eBay)



One of my favorite memories of our trips from the Midwest to our kids homes in California and Arizona, was a three day stop in Jackson, Wyoming where I had two days of walking the paths up to Jenny's Lake and beyond to Hidden Falls. What was around the corner or down over a ridge was always a surprise. I have to disagree with the old adage: Travel the path less taken. I think the people that went there before me knew where the best sights were. Besides, there are thorns, bears and poison oak on those less traveled paths. Click on the image for a larger view.

"Nice Neighborhood" 9x12 (Click here to bid on eBay)



This is a dramatic view of just a small section of a photo I used to paint this layout. There is always so much going on in the average image that you take, so usually cropping extremely tight will still give you plenty to look at. Click on the image for a larger view.

"Big Shadows" 9"x12' (Click here to bid on eBay)



I was drawn to this image for the color and the drama of the shadows. All of the Grand Canyon is full of drama and it's hard to not see and interesting painting in every wall of rock or plateau. Click on the image for a larger view.

"Pretty in Pink" 12x16 (Click here to bid on eBay)



This painting was really hard to photograph because it is all about the darkness of the objects and the saturation of those dark colors. I've tried to get it right for the third time. Click on the image for a larger view.
