Urban Commute Acrylic 5 x 7
SOLD
I can find something to paint anywhere I look in the city. This was on my way into downtown. I think the shapes of the cars, trees, and buildings all work together to make this an appealing painting.

Paris Afternoon Acrylic 7 x 5

Indigo Acrylic 7 x 5
SOLD
I was in Vince Italy when I took the picture for this painting. This woman had just left the market. I was trying to get a picture of her while shopping but couldn't get a good shot. I was very attracted to her energy, she was very vocal and happy when she was in the market. Her aura mimicked how I felt about everything in Italy.

In The Fog Acrylic 7 x 5
$100.00 + $10.00 S/H
In my never ending search for rainy urban scenes I traveled to Seattle. I planned my trip for November on the advice from friends who live there that I was assured rainy weather. Well...as it turned out I didn't get the rain I wanted but experienced a lot of fog in the morning hours and the beautiful warm sun later in the day. Although the reality of the trip wasn't what I was searching for it turned out just dandy and I captured wonderful painting reference none the less.

Aspen Grove Acrylic 7 x 5
SOLD
It's sort of funny how the simplest things can excite my creative eye. This aspen grove and it's shadow were so pleasantly soothing I had to paint them. Enjoy!

Go Green Acrylic 6 x 6
SOLD
When I first started painting urban landscapes,painting the cars in most of my compositions was not one of my favorite aspects of the painting. After painting them for so long now I have come full circle and actually look for interesting cars to paint. This truck was in the South of France.

Blue Antiquity Acrylic 6 x 6
SOLD
Everything I saw in France was captivating. This door was in a little town called Le Boux and just took my breath away. I'm sure the local French were laughing at how intrigued I was with an old wooden door, but look at the painting it made. If I have learned one thing about being an artist it is to trust my eye. It always takes me to a great artistic place.

Twilight in a Mountain Town Acrylic 6 x 6

This little scene is from a Leadville Colorado. I was driving through it this summer on the way back from Aspen. The twilight infuses everything in the landscape with a magical subdued light and this is no exception.
