WINGED

2011-11-30T14:55:00.000-08:00

"Winged" 18" X 14" Oil

This was really fun to paint, so much so that it practically painted it's self.

I really wanted to keep the values close to give this piece allot more mood.

I also enjoyed discovering all the reflected color and light. I wasn't too concerned

with the background and just applied random tonal shapes. Enjoy!

Lazy Drake

2011-10-21T14:46:00.000-07:00

"Lazy Drake" 12" X 9" Oil

I really enjoyed pushing the color of this painting. It may seem a little garish, but I really don't care. Finding the Joy in experimentation and pushing color on the canvas.

This painting will be in the 2011 St. John's "Art for the Ages" event next month.

SWIMMING IN COLOR

2011-09-06T15:17:00.000-07:00

"Swimming In Color" 14" X 18" Oil SOLD

I've been wanting to tackle more of these swimming scenes, yet not have it look to much like a Duck Stamp image. I want to maintain a loose, broken color and fluid style while maintaining a sense of honesty to the subject. These Geese have personalities and individual characteristics that I love observing.

COTTONWOODS & COLOR

2011-08-24T12:01:00.000-07:00

"Cottonwoods & Color" Oil 14" X 18"

I'm constantly experimenting with new colors in my pallet. I've recently switched from using Alizarin Crimson to Rose Madder and I've introduced Cobalt Blue Pale to my pallet. I really had a good time painting this composition and focusing on the unique tree shapes.

This Painting is Available at Gallery Interiors, Billings Montana

Drying The Wings

2011-08-17T17:47:00.000-07:00

"Drying The Wings" 10" X 12" Oil

The morning light on this Goose was too hard to pass up. I had a lot of fun finding the colors in the shadows and creating the luminous effect in the wings. Reflective color and light play an essential part in these paintings and these Geese are proving to be an endless source of inspiration.

Fall Solitude

2011-08-15T08:27:00.000-07:00

"Fall Solitude" 18" X 24" Oil

This one has been on the easel too long. I was really happy to complete this one. I started the drawings for this last year. I had a blast testing out various textures and color harmonies.

Evening at White Bird

2011-08-01T09:20:00.000-07:00

"Evening at White Bird" 9" X 12" Oil

Painted on Location "En Plein Air" near the Still Water River.

I was experimenting with "Spots of Color" in the rapidly changing evening light.

Sandstone & Juniper

2011-07-21T12:44:00.000-07:00

"Sandstone & Juniper" 12" X 20" Oil
These Sandstone cliffs are a common sight around this area of Montana. They are a wonderful resource for exploring light & shadow and reflective color.

MAY AWAKENING

2011-06-07T13:07:00.000-07:00

"May Awakening" 9" X 12" Oil on Belgian Linen

This one was painted a couple of weeks ago near Fort Rockvale, Montana. I'm very excited because a well respected fellow Artist by the name of Bob Barlow wants to trade one of his paintings for this one. It's a true honor.

SOME ODD TREE THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

2011-04-20T09:53:00.000-07:00

Some Odd Tree That Caught My Eye 16" X 12" Oil

The Winter "Gorging" of the Madison River causes the river to freeze from the bottom and force an ice flow through the Madison Valley. This flow tears and shapes the Trees into very interesting shapes, Natures way of Pruning. I've passed this tree on several occasions because of it distinct and odd character, yet I finally broke done and gave it a shot. The painting is more for myself, a reminder of Natures Craftsmanship.

VARNEY SENTINELS

2011-04-15T07:32:00.000-07:00

listen to the Madison River and watch these

Cottonwood Giants dance in the wind.
