• Grand Storm from Idaho

  Oil, Paper, 12 x 16. When you are alone with a mountain, I swear that you can feel and almost hear the energy. That's how the evening felt when I painted this view of "The Grand" in Grand Teton National Park. Clouds wer…

• Bison Night

  Paper, 12 x 12. American Bison are mystical creatures for me. They have endured for centuries, withstood almost sure extinction and were the economic engine for many indigenous people. They have strong ties to a spirit,…

• Marfa Lights West

  Paper, 12 x 9. While it's true the famous (infamous?) Marfa Lights get lots of attention and press, sunsets in downtown Marfa, Texas, can be quite stunning as well. While certainly not in the art-forward town's minimali…

• Sage flats

  Paper, 6 x 6. Sunsets are magical in Grand Teton National Park, whether you look West or East. One of my favorite views is to the East as the fading light creates a lush aura over sagebrush and distant mountains. This s…

• April Moon Rising

  Paper, 12 x 12. Since I can toss my painting kit into a pack and walk to Austin's old Hancock Golf Course, I have painted it often. It's situated in a way that's perfect for capturing the full moon or a rising sun.

• Mount Moran Sunset Break

  Paper, 12 x 16. The Potholes Turnout toward the Southern end of Grand Teton National Park offers stunning sunset views. The inner park road snakes around just enough to put the sun behind Mount Moran. I have painted the…

• Bison Flats--Yellowstone National Park

  Paper, 9 x 12. While Yellowstone National Park is known for its geothermal features, geysers are not the only stand-out sight. Bison roam on stunning plains as they have for centuries. This oil painting captures a beaut…

• Hyde Park Larkspur

  Watercolor, Paper, 6 x 6. Austin, Texas, has wonderful spring wildflowers that last for weeks and weeks with the right weather. Enthusiasts in many neighborhoods, including Hyde Park, plant oodles of "wild" flowers in g…

• Early Spring on Longs Peak

  Watercolor, Paper, 5 x 7. In Rocky Mountain National Park, the snow lasts well into late spring and even summer below. This view of Longs Peak was painted in watercolor on a warm May day when the temperature on the peak…

• Swan Lake Trail, Grand Teton

  Paper, 12 x 16. The Swan Lake Trail is one of my favorite hiking routes in Grand Teton National Park. It's just far enough to get away from some of the busyness of closer trails and a great stopping point to or from Her…

• Bison on 40th and Duval

  Paper, 12 x 12. Once, American Bison roamed the streets of Austin, Texas, along with much of the United States. Perhaps, in the wee hours of the morning, they still do. This beast might be found walking the streets of A…

• Engineer Mountain Sunrise

  Paper, 5 x 7. While it's not part of the Purgatory Ski Resort, Engineer Mountain offers stunning views on and off the ski resort's mountain. I painted this little study in watercolor with my granddaughter one January mo…

• Durango Night

  Paper, 12 x 9. Glowing lights on dark nights always call out to me. Here, they beckoned even though the lights were from the bath house and laundry at the United Campground in Durango, Colorado. I have painted nocturnes…

• Otherworld Portal at Delicate Arch

  Paper, 12 x 16. Oral traditions of indigenous people say that rock formations in Arches National Park are sacred. Many, to this day, believe the famous Delicate Arch can be a portal to a parallel world. In the spirit of…

• 40th and Bison

  Paper, 8 x 8. On a dark night, at a corner not too far from where I live, what might one see? It was not so many generations ago that one could have seen American Bison lumbering along in Austin, Texas.

• Bison on the 9th

  Paper, 12 x 12. Sometimes I describe this painting with simple phrases: What was. What is. What could be. Austin, Texas, provides the backdrop for a scene on the Hancock Golf Course. (Purportedly the oldest in Texas.) B…

• Waffle Cabin at Purgatory

  Paper, 7 x 5. Skiing in Colorado is about more than sliding down a hill. The Waffle Cabin at Ski Purgatory, just North of Durango is a welcome stop for many. Grab some quick energy and hit the many runs featuring incred…
