Process of Art

Art is a continuing process. For me there is always another way to learn how to work with a media whether it is oil, graphite, acrylic or pastel. New surfaces to work with and different mediums to make the things work differently sometimes smoother more refined sometimes with more brushstrokes or lines.

Colorado Plein Aire

There is a tremendous rejuvenation when painting outside. Painting in a new place is especially exciting. These are some of my paintings from a May trip to Steamboat Springs Colorado. The colors are so fresh and new at that time of year.

Summer Still Lifes

When you can't get outside you find interesting objects to paint. In spring flowers from the garden are fast choice.
