A scrawny evergreen snag hanging onto the cliffside in the Black Canyon National Park. I used washes in oil to create some of the texture of the rock walls and then applied a heavier brush stroke on top of it to enhance the look. I was very pleased with the overall look of this painting. The Black Canyon of the …
Another original oil painting in my series on the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park capturing a summer evening rain shower passing over. The canyon walls are visible through the thin virga veil of rain. I’ve painted for the Black Canyon for over 20 years. This a framed 18×24 original oil painting of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison …
The scene is just inside the park at West Yellowstone of a fly fisherman on the Madison River. It was an idyllic setting, a quiet tranquil Monday morning. I immediately thought what a great way to spend a morning, any morning but because it was a Monday morning it made it all the more special. The morning had a bit …
I rode the Harley to Sturgis for their motorcycle rally in 2010 with the express purpose of capturing some of the character bikers on the main drag. I was not disappointed. There were many to choose from. This gent rode up and parked his motorcycle across the street from me and I couldn’t resist taking his photo. I knew he’d …
The golden color of the aspen trees in Colorado in the fall months, beginning in September are a feast for the eyes. This scene is in what is locally called Willow Swamp in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado with Mt. Sneffels in the background..

Located just south of Jasper, Alberta, Canada in the Jasper National Park the river has several overlooks for a truly close-up encounter. This is a framed 41×48 …
This view of the North Saskatchewan River is near the Saskatchewan River Crossing between Banff and Jasper in the Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. It is part of the series of paintings from The Long Ride North, my motorcycle adventure to Alaska and back. What impressed me about The North Country is how wild and wide the river valleys …
This studio painting is of a friend of mine in the Wolf Mountains on the Montana Wyoming border on the Crow Reservation. That’s big country up there. In this scene he is making his commute Coyote springs to the open range of his jurisdiction. Lots of breaks and wonderful grass. Perfect cow country. 36 x 48 framed oil painting on a linen panel …
Gateway, Colorado is in the western part of the state near the Utah border. It is somewhat remote and wild, just the way I like it. John Hendricks, of the Discovery Channel, has built a magnificent facility here, along with a world class car museum that is open to the public. This painting, Gateway Palisade, done from the grounds of the …
This is a plein aire painting I did on the south rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park at the Chasm View overlook. There was a railing there to prevent the unwary from falling over the edge and I was right against the railing. In fact I was so close that I let a brush slip out …
