Hobcaw Barony Oil PaintingsAugust 17th, 2016
I climbed the firetower in the heat of summer at Hobcaw to make small paintings en plein air for several days. Inspired, I returned to the studio with digital panoramic photographs and produced two large 20" x 60" oils on canvas. Email or give a call to come by the studio to see the new work.

New oils from Sperry ChaletNovember 2nd, 2015
After a strenuous hike through lush cedar and hemlock forests, I'm welcomed by the camaraderie of the staff at the Sperry Chalet in Glacier National Park. Two of the more ambitious hikes in the backcountry are to the Continental Divide at Gunsight Pass and the Sperry Glacier Trail. The Great Northern Railway opened the chalet in 1914. No roads, electricity, or telephone made this the perfect place for an artist to work. You can only get in by horse or foot on an arduous trail. It was an honor to have been the artist-in-residence for two extraordinary weeks in August 2015. I'm in process of creating a book of photographs and oil paintings to document this wilderness experience. E-mail me if you're interested in more information.
