This most recent painting was created at the request of brother, Michael. The painting depicts the fields and mountains near where I and my siblings grew up in Moscow, Idaho. It includes Moscow Mountain and the Twin Peaks. The painting was completed near the end of September, and delivered on September 30.

Paintings from the Past Two Years

Over the past two years, I've painted more than I have for several years. The nine paintings immediately following this post were exhibited at the Terra Nova Gallery in Provo during the months of June and July this past year. I had the opportunity of exhibiting with three other artist friends: Kathryn Roberts, Jenae Green and Laura Romero.

I now have about 16 little drawings, although I am behind on posting them. It feels good to do this every day and hopefully it will continue to improve my skills.

I have been successful in completing 1 drawing every day for 5 days this week. I haven't posted all of them because some of them are better than others. Hopefully, as time goes on, most of the drawings will be those that I could post.

I have been creating a small drawing each day, minimun of 15 minutes, in my Moleskin sketchbook. The sketches now are about 2 5/8" x 3 1/4". These are two completed in the last two days.

This was the preliminary painting for a mural which is located now at Orem Elementary School. The mural itself is 10 feet x 6 feet. The mural itself was painted in collaboration with Trilea Minson, completed in the fall of 2006, installed in the spring of 2007.

This piece began as a plein air painting in June 2009, and was completed in the Fall of 2009. I have two others that have not yet been completed, which I will include as they are finished.

A New Start

2010-02-20T14:03:00.000-08:00

I have come to a point where I want to network with other artists, and share art with others. Beginning today, I have the goal of doing a drawing a day, 5 days a week, for one month. I plan on posting some of these as time goes on. My purpose in doing this hone my drawing skills through regular practice.
