OK. As promised…here is my painting of the view from our room at Cameron Trading Post at sunset. It is a little 6 x 8 watercolor. I painted it from a photo I took. I had my watercolor kit with me at the time but the light was fading so quickly, I knew I couldn’t get it set up in …
Mountain Oyster Club Art Show
Well, we’re back from Tucson and the Mountain Oyster Club Art Show and Sale. It was great. Lots of people, lots of good art, warm weather…what more could I ask for. It was encouraging to see that a number of paintings had been spoken for within the first couple hours of the preview on Saturday. The actual sale was on Sunday but …
Winter Wonderland
Here’s a new oil painting I just finished. It is based on a series of photos I took a couple of winters ago when I took my son to Telluride to go snowboarding for the day. I don’t do that, so I turned him loose on the slopes and I went in search of a painting. This scene is from …
As I See It…
Such a title as “As I See It…” generally suggests that a personal opinion is coming. Don’t worry. You know that I don’t do that here.

If you have been paying attention, you probably also know that sooner or later I succumb to the perceived need and wind up using it. For many of us artists, the primary way to market our art has been through galleries. …
New Website
Just got an email from my web-designer that said the new “beta” form of my website is up and running. We have a few bugs (discovered and as yet undiscovered) to work out and I have to populate the site with more images of art and photos etc. but this is the new look. Let me know what you think. …
Mountain Oyster Club 40th Annual Art Show and Sale
Earlier this year I received a letter of invitation for 40th Annual Western Art Show and Sale at the prestigious Mountain Oyster Club in Tuscon Arizona. Of course I accepted. The show opens to the public on November 22, 2009 with a private reception for the artists and invited patrons the afternoon before. I’ll be there. Check them out at …
First Post
In the begining there was the word…and this is it. As I get used to this method of communication you can look forward to news about me and my career as an artist. I write a weekly colum for the local newspaper and I will post it here as well as upcoming events, shows, new paintings and anything else I …
