Some photographs seem to contain a painting almost from the beginning. [...]

Some paintings take you somewhere you didn't expect to go. [...]

There was a point when I realized I was at a painting crossroads. [...]

This painting began with two massive cottonwood trees at Standley Lake Reservoir. I was drawn to their size and presence, and to the way they seemed to frame the landscape beyond them. [...]

The hillside rose and fell in gentle undulations, covered with clusters of junipers. There were no dramatic rock formations or towering trees competing for attention. [...]

At first, it wasn’t the water that caught my attention. It was the relationship between the river, the trees, and the rocks. [...]

Some paintings begin with a place and gradually become something else. [...]

Some landscapes invite us to stop and look more carefully. Others encourage us to wonder what lies beyond the next bend. [...]

Sometimes the most meaningful parts of a landscape are not the first things that capture our attention. [...]

"Still Here" was inspired by an ash tree near my home, silhouetted against the colors of a late summer sunset. [...]
