Jasper Lake



Oil quick study/sketch of Jasper Lake, in the Indian Peaks Wilderness of Colorado.

Sketching with oil on canvas paper is a practice I have established to refine composition and value. The spontaneous character of these pieces have an artistry all their own.

Inner Basin Trail ACEO



This mini painting is of the Inner Basin Trail in the San Francisco Peaks area near Flagstaff, Arizona. The trail had been closed for several years due to the Schultz fire, but was recently reopened. We hiked the trail the weekend it reopened to find the aspens as beautiful as ever! This ACEO (art cards, editions, and orginals), also known as artist trading cards is painted on canvas paper with a 1/2 inch border to allow for easy matting and framing. It is up for auction on my DailyPaintworks site.

Colorado Rocks


Colorado Rocks - Mount Evans Ascent

Colorado Rocks. I “bagged” my first Colorado 14,000 foot peaks a few years back. Colorado has over 50 peaks that are 14,000 feet or higher. This painting is of Mount Evans, number 14 in elevation of the 53 Colorado 14ers. There is a road to the top, but I hiked the short northeast face trail (1,400 foot elevation gain) from the Summit Lake Trailhead as my acclimation hike for the following day, when I summited Mount Bierstadt. I tried to capture the awesome beauty of the alpine tundra from my ascent of Mount Evans.  Available for purchase here.
