This is my nephew strumming the cello.  He has gone all over the world doing missionary work.  He is so content playing music.

"Craggy Tree - North Carolina" 9" x 12" oil on Board - Juried into Orange County Fair




  A fun painting of a gnarly tree. This tree is in Glacier National Park. If you have never been to Glacier, you must go. One of the most beautiful NPs.

Later found out that we took this picture in Craggy Gardens, North Carolina.

"Classic Pickup Truck Band" 18" x 18" oil on Board


 Classic Pickup Truck band. Such a cool gentleman playing an old piano in the back of an old classic pickup truck. I took a photo of this scene after a workshop at the Randy Higbee gallery. Randy was so hospitable to all the artists and had this band play in the evening. Part of the seat is on the truck and part on an old piece of wood. The microphone is held by an old clamp.

"A Touch of Gold" 5" x 7" oil on Board

Finally getting back to painting!   I had been ill for 6 weeks and had not felt much like painting.  I did a quick couple hour painting, so very much impressionistic which is quite fun.  I call it, "A Touch of Gold".

"Painting McVicker - Laguna Canyon" - Oil on Linen


I painted this painting at Willow park (Laguna Canyon) a couple of months ago during the LAPAPA invitational.I had not been happy with something about it and decided it might be the path so I changed it a bit.  I am happy with it now.  The artist in the painting is Jim McVicker.

"Lake Barbara - Laguna Canyon" - 6" x 12" Oil on board
