I started taking photos–when I was made to select an art in Junior High school–but have been seriously into photography for about 20 years. Probably not a conscious decision but since I don’t particularly enjoy being IN photographs, being the one taking the photos manages to keep me out of the frame.
The bridge over the Virgin River, in Zion National Park, is a popular spot to catch the beautiful red cliffs and winding river. This painting captures all the drama and magnificence of this amazing vista. The oil paint was thickly applied with a brush, the impressionsitic colors melding together to capture the fleeting light of dawn.
Expressive clouds dance above the horizon, spilling their color into the reflective pool of water below. The brush strokes are thick and impressionistic, capturing the motion and vibrancy of the wide outdoors.
Joshua Tree National Park is full of inspiration for painting, with its abstract piles of rocks and otherworldly Joshua Trees. This painting captures a pair of Joshuas dancing against a backdrop of California desert landscape. The brush strokes are thick and impressionistic, alive with color and motion.

This painting was inspired by a uniquely-shaped coastal pine tree on a golf course in Pebble Beach.
