Seascapes
"Many people consider a storm to be a violent force of nature, but I prefer to reflect upon the freshness and new start that a rain shower brings to our surroundings.  I’ve used the intense colors that you will occasionally see during an early morning sunrise or late evening sunset over a body of water. Watch how the painting looks different as the intensity of the hues change in direct proportion to the variation of the illumination in the room."
"A place where one can escape to anytime of day although it portrays the end of a beautiful peaceful day along a coastal waterway.  Many of the deep rich color hues applied on this piece are reminiscent of the great masters’ paintings of old. "
"In one's own life experience, circumstances do not always allow us to outrun or steer clear of precarious situations. However, this work reveals the intrepid characteristic in all of us that regardless of whatever comes to surface we will not give up. This is especially true during our own present time of serious turbulence."
"Personally, I find pelicans to be very fascinating birds especially because of their prehistoric appearance and for the way they fly and descend in flight to fish for food. White pelicans are somewhat rare and scarcely populated in respect to other pelicans. However, if men continue to violate their natural habitat via heavy pollution, most pelicans in general will become sparse."
"A picturesque scene that can be found in the western United States where a crystal lake has postured the reflections of a distant glacier mountain range as well as an adjacent mountain range with its alpine forest.  Since a Ponderosa Pine covers the outermost perimeter of the painting, the perspective is so true that it has three-dimensional depth and gives the illusion that you are looking out your window."
"I have always enjoyed painting actual locations where majestic mountains are reflected in the beautiful bodies of water that accompany them.  This location is located inside Kings Canyon National Park in California located south of Yosemite National Park."
