"Summer Hike to Avalanche Lake"

14x18", oil on masonite

This painting was done from a compilation of on-location sketches and watercolor pieces. It was inspiring to see people enjoying exercise as well as the natural beauty of this place.

Sweet Violets


"Two Sweet Violets"
16x20", oil

Painting flowers never seems to get old, as we bring a bit of nature indoors. Humble, sweet violets made for a still life opportunity and have since found a wonderful home.
