This is from a backpacking trip.  This glorious view was how I was greeted the first morning as I looked over Lake Chickenfoot in the Red Rock Creek section of the eastern Sierra.  This is oil on linen, mounted on a gatorboard panel.  Framed in a silver leaf plein air style frame.

As a continuation of my obsessive exploration of grand skies and extreme lighting conditions, this piece explores the experience of a remarkable and unique moment in time.

This little shack out on the end of an old fishing wharf caught my attention for a painting.  Oil on linen, painted plein air.

I've been pushing my work further and further towards the abstract.  I'm after deconstructing the landscape, while still capturing a luminous quality of light.  This combination require a fine balancing act, but when it works I think it creates something very special.
