cutthroat trout


Trout are the most silvery, colorful creatures on earth,especially the western varieties from the cold rivers like the Snake. I did 3 different members of that family and show one here. I have had prints made of one of them.

morning,noon and night


I found this 3 panel screen with blank canvas just waiting for me. Had to get it and at my daughter's suggestion, did morning,noon and night skies. It would be a good thing for a massage therapist,child's room,condo dweller, etc. The dimensions are approximately 60" high and each panel is 24" wide.

Trout


I think that trout, especially cutthroat varities, are so beautiful with their colorful bodies and the silvery flash in the sunlight. I hope you enjoy the look I tried for.

Red chicken


Always loved chickens, had a pet when I was a child. So, here I go painting a new one, with attitude.

cow skull on a fence


This is a 16x20 oil on board and inspired by a photo by Jeremy Green and with his permission. I like the contrast very much and the ruggedness of it.

1920s fishing dory


This is an old east coast type dory, the kind New Englanders and Nova Scotians went to sea in. Amazingly, before there were engines in them, the fishermen rowed for miles to find a school of fish. This one has a 1920s engine which has to be started by spinning the flywheel - by hand. A daunting task in freezing weather. This is done with oils on canvas, 12x16.
