Radial Tangent – 30×24 Oil

Posted on November 25, 2014 by admin
Radial Tangent – 30×24 Oil. The latest in my bike series captures the visual dynamics of the rear derailleur. As metaphor, it takes effort to shine bright, to cut through the mundane, to break through the sameness we are cultured unwittingly to strive towards. Yet when we take that tangent from the everyday and in to the unknown, we truly live.

Canyon View

Posted on March 4, 2014 by admin

I am very happy to announce that my original oils, “Red Break Blue”, “Vineyard View” and “Olive Ride II” now belong to the Canyon View Medical Plaza private collection. They can be seen in the second floor lobby of the new state of the art Canyon View Medical Plaza at 2373 G. Rd in Grand Junction. Hopefully you won’t find yourself in need of outpatient services anytime soon, but if you find your way to the new building check out my art.

Vineyard View – 24×30

Posted on March 4, 2014 by admin
Vineyard View – 24×30. I revisited the rolling view atop a vineyard as a larger commissioned work for my last Canyon View piece. This stylized view while initially inspired from a trip to Napa could just as easily be from East Orchard Mesa overlooking Palisade and the Colorado River. A view I routinely see from my bike throughout the year. Extended rows of vines rolling lazily towards the river, broken only by stands of trees, and the morning mist hanging over the river.

Olive Ride II – 24×30 Oil

Posted on March 4, 2014 by admin
Olive Ride II – 24×30. I revisited this intimate view of olives as a larger commissioned work for my second Canyon View piece. When riding a bike through wine country it can be easy to miss the olive trees planted in and around the vineyards. Sometimes you have to stop to take in the small things that are beautiful and amazing around us lest we miss them. The sun peaks through the branches as the olives moderate basking in the warmth of the sun by shading themselves with each other.

Red Break Blue – 72×48 Oil.

Posted on January 2, 2014 by admin
Red Break Blue – 72×48 Oil. Fresh paint, I revisited the Colorado National Monument’s Red Canyon as a much larger commissioned work. The low winter sun casts long shadows in to the wide canyon. The deep blue of the Grand Valley in the distance as the sun hits the colorful rock walls layering above the sandy pinion basin.

General Surgeons of Western CO

Posted on December 12, 2013 by admin

I am very happy to announce that my original oils, “San Juan Summer” and “Palisade” now belong to the General Surgeons of Western Colorado private collection. They can be seen in their new state of the art offices at 2440 N 11th St in Grand Junction. I don’t always get a chance to see where my art gets hung after it is sold, so it was a treat to see them up on the walls at the open house last night.

King of the Valley – 36×24 Oil

Posted on August 30, 2013 by admin
King of the Valley – 36×24 Oil. The first painting in my Book Cliff series captures the patriarch of the range. Rising up from the valley floor the iconic Mount Garfield holds court over the valley, keeping a watchful eye on the east entrance of the valley through De Beque Canyon. Up and down the range palisades and hoodoos patiently sit waiting precariously to be called in to action by the king of the valley.

Youngest – 16×20 Pencil

Posted on June 18, 2013 by admin
Youngest – 16×20 Pencil. It has been a long time since the first two, but I finally got to the third drawing in the brother portrait series. When you are younger you don’t really appreciate how faces change over time. In fact you imagine that grownups have always looked the way they do. Our subconscious is programmed to innately understand differences in age without consciously understanding the mechanics. Often it takes firsthand experience watching those around us with the passage of time to better understand what we innately know.

San Juan Summer – 36×24 Oil

Posted on May 16, 2013 by admin
San Juan Summer – 36×24 Oil. The third painting in my San Juan Mountains themed series, inspired from a trail run from Silverton to Ouray. Mount Sneffels rests in the distance; the steep bowl of Stony Mountain hides Yankee Boy Basin from view as Governor Basin unfolds from Virginius Pass. Only accessible by foot and rarely traveled this pass offers a unique view of the depth of the San Juan Mountains.
