This area is just west of Fort Collins Colorado and is a part of the Colorado State University Campus. I attended this campus as part of my curriculum in the Forestry Department.

Bee Bounty 6 x 6 Acrylic Painting of a Honey Bee on a Cone Flower

My yard is full of blooming flowers right now and the bees love the Coneflowers. Painting these intimate images is opening a whole new world to me. Just the way the seeds in the cone flower line up in rows is fascinating not to mention how much the bee liked foraging on it.

The Bees Knees 6 x 6 Acrylic Painting of a Honey Bee

SOLD

My new passion is beekeeping. It's my first year keeping bees and I have an apiary of four hives. With all these bees in my back yard it was inevitable that they would become the subjects of some of my paintings. This little lady was posing on my fountain just waiting for me to take her picture. I love the light illuminating her body. I see many more paintings with bees as my focus. Enjoy the world of bees through an artist's eyes!

Italy Market 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Landscape of Italy

SOLD

The quaint street markets in Italy were abundant and each had its own unique character. The flower market here was quite busy and the owner seemed to know everybody by name and what they were looking for. Nobody had to really make a decision the shop owner made the selection with out consultation. It was extraordinary to watch.

Allie Acrylic 12 x 9 Pet Portrait

SOLD

Terry and Shawna Zwart commissioned me to paint their Pups. This is the second of two. Both dogs are up there in age but needless to say are the light of their lives.

Passion 6 x 6 Mixed Media Resin Coated Abstract

$125.00 + $10.00 S/H

I am going to post a few of my smaller abstracts. I've had great fun pushing my artistic boundaries by exploring my abstract inclinations and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. I have found that in this type of painting its all intuition and that alone it quite the challenge for me. My impressionist painting relies on a more literal interpretation of the subject. In this work the interpretation is the subject. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I am.

Ruby Red Acrylic 5 x 7 Hummingbird Painting

SOLD

Spring has sprung here in Denver and I am in the mood to paint anything that reminds me of that fact. I'm going to become a beekeeper in about two weeks and I've been deliberating on what I wanted to paint on my hives to make them special. So one of them is going to be forever known as the Hummingbird Hive. This little fella is going to be adorned on the front of the hive with a little buddy and some Geraniums. I will post a picture of the hive when its completed.
