Fisherman Bay Preserve - NFS

"Fisherman Bay Preserve", 8 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board
This is one of the paintings done on Lopez Island at the San Juan Preservation Trust paintout.

Grand Canyon - Sold

"Grand Canyon", 8 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board
The Grand Canyon always holds a fascination for me. It is one thing to see the breadth of the Canyon from the rim, but another thing to go back in time by traveling through the Canyon on the Colorado.  As you go down from Lee's Ferry, travel on the river is through an uplift, so to the Inner Gorge, the rocks are older and older until you reach the schist that is like black marble in some places.

Desert Tree

"Desert Tree", 8 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board
Sometimes I just pick a photo from my travels and see if I can bring back the memory of the place.  The Escalante in Southern Utah is one of those memorable places--we rented a 4-wheel drive because the roads were so rough and the owner gave us a satellite tracking system in case we got lost in this vast remote area--he didn't want to have to find us or his jeep without knowing exactly where we were!

Desert Autumn

"Desert Autumn", 11 x 14 In, Oil on Museum Board
There are so many colors in the desert! It is so different from the colors of a wet area like Western Washington, where I live.

Two Roses - SOLD

Sometimes its fun and a big break to do fast and small still life paintings.

Dana Passage Calm Day - SOLD

"Dana Passage Calm Day", 8 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board
Some days are calm here on South Sound and this was one of them. Since I generally tend to do brushy paintings, I thought I would try to do this one in a different way.

Utah Backroad

"Utah Backroad", 10 x 12 In, Oil on Museum Board
Just like the Alaska photos, sometimes I like to pull out the photos from our Utah trip a couple of years ago. I painted every day driving through south central Utah and my favorite areas were the Grand Staircase Escalante and Capitol Reef National Park, both without the tourist buses of Bryce. The Esclante is vast and we rented a jeep from a local guy that had a GPS device with locations of Indian ruins--and the GPS was also in case we got lost! Capitol Reef is an amazing 100 mile long waterpocket fold in the earth running north and south.
