Windpower #2

 

I love the mountains as an artist, but this "tipped" flat land with nothing but sky has great appeal. Big country, the works of man seem small and frail. 18 x 24 latex acrylic on canvas.

Windpower #1

 
Just returned from a trip across the southern States. Fell in love with the open pan-handle country of Texas. This is from a photo I made of a wind machine north of Amarillo. 18 x 24 latex acrylic on canvas. Storm, coming or going?

canyon #3

 
A small series of paintings resulted from a a photo expedition into the canyon of Prospect Creek, just above the mouth where it meets the Clark's Fork of the Colombia. I find a challenge in trying to capture the Movement of the water, and the light and shadow play on the the rocks. While at the same time, allowing paint to be free to be paint. An illusion for sure, but at the end of the day, just paint on canvas, recording the movement of the painter. Please read on many levels.

Canyon #2

 
Late spring in Prospect Creek, and I'm crawling around and over these wet rocks down in the canyon to take photos. Lived to paint again another day! 18 x 24 canvas with latex arcylic. A feeling of light and shadow? cool and warm?

acrylic latex on canvas, 18 x 24. trying hard to capture "time and place" while still letting paint be paint. Do more with fewer strokes.
