After suffering poor health, I was forced into disability/retirement. My youngest son encouraged me to paint as therapy - I paint daily as I listen to jazz and it helps trump depression. I study oil painting with two professional painters. One of my goals is to become a proficient plein air painter. I have entered several shows. I entered my painting School Days in the Intermountain Society of Arts' Fall Show and received an Honorable Mention. I was accepted into the Bountiful/Davis Art Center Statewide Competition (only 99 out of 409 submissions were accepted). I also recently received a third place award for the painting Bitterroot River North. Finally, I exhibit at the gallery, Art at the Main in Salt Lake City.

Thanks for the visit!  I'm taking an oil painting class now but I'm afraid I'm not so good with it.  But I'm hoping that once I get mixing colors down, I'll be able to do it.


Your paintings are terrific!  And keep up the good work.

You say that you painted after experiencing disability?  I am impressed with your painting compositions...you must have had latent ability to paint and draw all your life.  Very nice collection of work in your gallery here...and I really enjoy the sunflowers that you submitted today... but they are one weird flower when you think about it...edible bunches of seeds in a huge brown middle with these yellow things jutting out all around the disc.  Just....weird!

I love your mixture of the pallete knife and the smooth brush strokes...especially the river scenes....

Thanks for the kind comments.  I have been playing around with black gesso and it really makes the colors pop.  Unfortunately my pics are not that good so see the iridesence in all the pieces.  Looks like you enjoy coloring too! ;-)

Thanks, that old truck is rotting away high in the mountains just east of Cloudcroft , New Mexico.

You have some neat work and a definite title!  I like the way you paint your colors crisp and clear, to the point!
