Tomichi Creek

5"x7"', Acrylic/Canvas Panel

Tomichi Creek meandering along the foot of Tenderfoot Mountain. This is a very lazy, pleasant stretch of water within walking distance of our house in Gunnison. I'll be trying to get back in the painting groove to get ready for a show in September at Centennial Galleries in Ft. Collins, but I need to do some serious lighting adjustments in this cave of a studio.

Mill Creek in June

22"x28", Acrylic/Canvas

I've painted this creekbend in every season, and it always seems to feel familiar and different at the same time.

The Space Between

30"x40", Acrylic/Canvas

Evening of the Shortest Day

24"x36", Acrylic/Canvas

The Gunnison River on the winter solstice. This was along my old school bus route when I drove for the Gunni school district. I actually parked the bus (all the kids were safely delivered home) and trudged down to the bank to do a color study. The study was 8x10, I think, and it was absolutely terrible, because the paint was freezing on my brush. It looked more like a used palette than a painting, but there were a few smudges of icy acrylic mud that were more or less the right colors.

$2500 

Red Lady Blue

24"x36", Acrylic/Canvas

Mt. Emmons beneath a storm.

SOLD

Corridor

30"x40", Acrylic/Canvas

A larger piece that I've been sitting on for a while. I rarely paint aspens in frontal lighting, because I think the fun is usually in the reflected light in the surface shadows...but man, do they glow when the sun hits them, eh? This is near my favorite campsite in the West Elks.

$2750

Old Town Hall

4"x4", Acrylic/Canvas

Crested Butte's old Town Hall, which is also the building that houses my first gallery, the Paragon Co-op. It is one of the longest running artist's co-ops in the country, established in 1979....the same year I was "established", as it were. It's a pretty cool concept. They even let a twenty-five year old me be the Gallery Director for a time, which essentially meant I got the tall, cushy barstool at the meetings. But it sounds good. I probably should have posted a better painting to represent it, but, you know....

Jackson Street Silos

7"x5", Acrylic/Canvas

These are abandoned silos from the Latah County Grain Growers...across the street from us. There is a debate over whether or not to raze them for new development. They are kind of an iconic landmark here...it would be a shame to see them go. I say call 'em sculpture and leave 'em be...kind of like the old barns and haysheds around Crested Butte. No new building is going to bend light around like these guys.
