"Priorities"

Getting your priorities straight is what this piece is about.
With today's hectic and stressful lifestyles, take time and smell the coffee....

Josh

This is the conte crayon on paper paper portrait I drew last night at the Wilds Art Center's open studio. He was a great model!

Sinopah Mt.

"Sinopah Mt" is an oil I recently finished. I was camped near Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana this summer. I got up early to plein air paint & take reference photos. The colors & reflections were spectacular.

Plein air painting

I had the pleasure of painting in an Aspen grove in Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado) last week. I had fun with my oils & pallet knife; it felt more like sculpting a painting with all of the paint I used.

Lincoln Gallery's Fall Show 2008

On Friday, October 9th, downtown Loveland comes alive with it's 2nd Friday art walk. I have these oil paintings entered into the Lincoln Gallery's Fall show. The opening is from 6-9pm.

Both paintings are scenes from a weekend in the Maroon Bells when the aspen trees were at their peak and over a foot of snow fell. The colors were gorgeous!
