That aurora tonight was really special. First time seeing it for me and my two kids!

Light Breaking Through
Oil on linen, 24 x 48 in.

Painted from video I shot on the north shore of Maui in 2019. The light that morning was otherworldly!

Golden hour light on eucalyptus is a classic California motif—I got to try my hand at it in this piece for the Catalina Island Conservancy’s show in October.

The painting is 20x30” and I’m honored that it went to the home of a friend in Southern California.

A quick 12x12 in oil study from life. Near Aspen, CO last summer. I saw these clouds from a country road and pulled over to paint them.

Breathtaking image here
Another image from this giant glacier from Alaskan wilderness.
This one is captured with a drone, flying from our base camp that was just behind the smaller glacier on the right.

An oil painting of Muir Woods from 2019. It’s a 24x36” piece; I have a 48x72” version in the works but I want to do the place justice and it’s hard to find time for a big one. Someday!

A 24x30 oil painting of the Tundra Communities Trail near the top of Trail Ridge Rd in RMNP. This one is from photo and video reference—it’s a bit windy up there for a big painting!

Did this one as a demonstration for an art instructional video over a couple of days. Somehow having the pressure of filming made the resulting painting come together quickly—it’s a favorite.

Glowing Falls
Oil on linen, 24x24 in.

Nothing like the glow of a Colorado aspen glade in peak fall color. Painted this 40x48” piece from some photos I took near Steamboat Springs.

Thunderhead
Oil on linen, 30x30 in.

Possibly my favorite thing about the western landscape is the skies—massive cumulonimbus clouds that have such distinct shapes they appear like landforms.
