The mountain as an image provides me with many directions. As I view them surrounding me I am watching the light change throughout the day.

These are some I am currently working on.

Drawing and painting from live subjects is continually part of the artist's challenge. I return to them often.

It is a joke among painters who live in the country, as one is often asked by viewers "Do you have any barns?" I love the iconic barn structure, it is an American architectural marvel, when you step inside the beauty of the construction speaks of a bygone era.
