Moraine Park Fishing Giclee


Moraine Park Fishing


The Loveland Art Studio Tour 2011 was a success. I had lots of visitors, patrons and friends visit my studio Oct 15 & 16.  I sold a framed  24" x 30" canvas giclee of "Moraine Park Fishing", a commissioned pastel.  I do not have more of these on hand, but they can be ordered through art for conservation.

Island Lake

Island Lake
"Island Lake" is one of the most beautiful places on the planet.  I stumbled upon this  lodge and Provencal Park near Fernie, British Columbia Canada last summer. While I hiked in old growth forests around this quiet mountain lake,  I was constantly taking reference pictures as I was inspired the entire time.  I want to return and stay longer.
This new oil painting is for sale.  For more information please contact me.
