Fine Arts
Landscape and still life oil paintings which capture the depth and variety that inspire the world around us. Enjoy my studio paintings and works created en plein air throughout the Coastal Bend on the gulf coast of Texas, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and the western states.
Texas Gulf Coast Scenes and mountain regions landscapes
My landscape paintings are inspired by my sojourns into nature in Central Oregon as well as around my new home in Rockport Texas. Mother Nature provides my sense of awe with an endless supply of subjects as I pause and reflect on the uncaused cause of the bounty of beauty before me. I strive to understand the light and pass these emotions along to you.
I find inspiration in the moods of the ever changing light on the world around us. We only have to still the static and engage our senses to appreciate the beauty.
I hope you enjoy your journey through my portfolio of fine art oil paintings. If you are interested in featuring my art or discussing a piece currently for sale, please contact me.
Latest Work
My paintings are not only about technique, design and composition, just as writing is not about grammar and spelling. These are just my tools used to express my concept and emotions.
Star Ruby Evening
Oil. 28 x 30. For a landscape painter, it’s all about the light. The light on the Coastal Bend, TX, is usually warm in the evenings, filling the air with color.
Cerulean Day
As the summer heat abates, The Coastal Bend plein air painters come out of their studio hibernation to once more capture the glorious colors found here around Rockport. The winter is our season.
Leaning Upward
Oil. 24 x 48. Finding scenes like this one helps me center on contemplative observation, or seeing with love, everything and everyone in God’s creation. My prayer is that I grow in learning how to love like Jesus loves us.
Still Life Oil Paintings
My Still Life paintings arise from a self-imposed artistic challenge, or a “what if” concept. I start with the concept and then set up the objects that represent the idea. It’s also a time to play and learn.
The oil medium allows me to develop my composition by subtracting and adding paint with a variety of tools and to build the thick textures that I admire from the Russian Impressionists.
Release your individual creativity.
My personalized art classes are energetic and you will be doing a lot of painting as you learn the fundamentals of good composition and design. I stress developing a concept which will open up your creative process, and provide consistency to your painting.
