Watercolor Landscapes I paint from life, sometimes "Plein Aire" and sometimes from memory and reference photographs. I like to combine resources to capture the light and energy of a subject.
Watercolor Seascapes I am at home near the water. Walking the beach is a renewal process for me. The Pacific Northwest has a mild, wet climate. Water finds it's way into most of my paintings. Wear your boots!
Small Acrylics Acrylics are fun and predictable... unlike watercolors, they stay where you put them! A nice change of pace.
Commissions I will consider commission work. Here are some that I have delivered on.
Current Work I'm always adding new paintings, fresh off my painting board. Check back regularly to see whats new!
