Welcome!

 
 

I paint landscapes and I hope you enjoy them! What I do is pretty straightforward. I explore the landscape around me until I find a compelling place. Then I spend time painting as a way to understand the nature of that compulsion. Sometimes, the paintings I do outdoors are interesting enough for me to paint it again at a larger scale. A painting is done when I feel like the image could inspire a viewer to stop, look, feel something, and look again. Most of my paintings don’t work out that way, but I can’t seem to stop trying. The paintings I have here are examples of ones that make me feel good. I hope these paintings make you feel good too!

I also wrote a book called “See,Think,Draw: An Easy Guide to Realistic Drawing and Beyond. I did this because I love to teach and it would make me happy if more people would draw. It's great for the brain:)
