Welcome to my website. Painting is something I love to do. I'm fortunate that
loving what I do, I never have to go to "work".   I would love to hear your
comments, so e-mail me if you would like.

I live in the beautiful Colorado mountains, where the sun shines so much of the
time. I love the play of that sunlight and the shadows on the subjects I paint. The
bright sunlight on a red bell pepper makes it truly come alive.

My paintings are all done on gallery wrapped canvas which I stretch myself. After
several coats of gesso and much sanding, I finally arrive at a surface smooth
enough for the effect I want. The painting continues around the sides of the
canvas, so framing isn't necessary. Most paintings are 1 1/2" deep.

If you have a particular subject or size that you would like, I'm very happy to do
commissions. Just contact me by email or phone and we can discuss your special
painting.

I hope you enjoy the paintings, and please feel free to leave comments. Thank
you.
