I don’t take commissions for paintings so what you see is what you get with me as far as available art goes. But a couple of weeks ago my son Ethan came by the studio, picked up a board and said ‘I want you to paint me something on this board similar to that one’ pointing to a Winter scene hanging in my studio. Below is that particular painting
With my art, I take inspiration from what I find most beautiful in my surroundings as well as my life experiences. With my sculptures I aim to add beauty and interest to new places where the passerby can feel uplifted, inspired and discover something new. My sculpture “Bloom” is rooted in the intricate folk art ...
Autumn is the time of year when the senses are often heightened. Clinging onto color and life is a human instinct. A looming storm, can further intensify this feeling as it also has the power to make the landscape seem richer than in does in the bright sunlight that often blow outs the rich colors of the earth.
My ceramic sculpture “Lotus Emerges” has just been installed at our 40 Acre Mystic Valley Sculpture Park in Mosca, Colorado near the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Last year it was installed for the Annual Outdoor Art Exhibit ‘Artscape’ in nearby Alamosa – the central city of the San Luis Valley.
When the fall weather conditions are just right – warm sunny days and cool nights – the trees turn the brightest yellows and oranges. I love watching the, slow initial change of Color.
The Chambered Nautilus, sometimes referred to as a living fossil, has remained relatively unchanged for over 400 million years. Most people recognize it for its shell which captivates with its geometric and jewel-like beauty. Its appeal has been driving this previously abundant species toward extinction through over-harvesting for jewelry production.
I’m so happy to see this new painting beautifully, custom framed by my partner Kyle – hugs thanks to him fr helping my work have such a clean, professional look!
I painted these two as separate compositions yet they almost meet up perfectly when placed next to one another. I sketched them out at the same time so maybe on a subconscious level, my brain connected them. If you look closely though, specifically at the trees in the foreground, you will see that both paintings have a different patter that does not actually flow or connect but at first glance you may be tricked =)
This painting is inspired by magical Colorado nights above the spectacular Autumnal landscape in the Rocky mountains with the Aspen groves at peak color in late September.
