As a plein air painter of oil landscapes, I try to capture the light, shadow, color or mood - that which draws me to the subject - and to communicate that feeling to the viewer. A boldness of brush strokes and the variety in paint texture add interest and feeling to my work. Paintings inspired by new places when traveling and the southwest, especially New Mexico, are the basis for most of my paintings. Some plein air works are the basis for larger paintings developed in the studio.
