Oils - Mountains and Skies
Montana is certainly big, third largest of the lower 48. Known as the land of the big sky, it is a state of stark visual contrasts in topography and ecology. The towering Rocky Mountains are bunched and buckled in the western part of the state. The vast fields of grasses—an unmade bed of rolling lands—fill all that is east of the Continental Divide. Whether standing in the western or the eastern part of the state, both mountains and range lands lie at the base of a great, arching, expanse of sky, attesting to that apt description, "Big Sky." What a wonderful sight to attempt to capture, with brush and paint, on canvas and paper.

Upcoming Events
Shafers is one of Bigfork's newest resturants in Woods Bay and features an amazing chef. They also feature some twenty of my paintings—both Western Wildlands and Western Wildlife. For a special treat find your way to Mountain Lake Lodge for a culinary and visual treat.
It has been a eventful year exploring new styles and techniques. I have been intrigued with painting intensely colorful canvases using rich applications of paint applied with a pallete knife and bold brush strokes. These pieces can be viewed at our Home Gallery and Studio at 546 Grand Drive, in Bigfork. Give me a call and we'll make an appointment for you to come by. The works will also be displayed on our deck overlooking Bigfork Bay the first weekend in August at the Bigfork Festival of the Arts.
Several of my paintings are featured in the Eagle Bend Clubhouse throughout the year.
Each summer on the first weekend in August during the Bigfork Festival of the Arts we hang my paintings on the deck of our Home Gallery and Studio overlooking Bigfork Bay. As there is no parking downtown during the fesival It is right on your stroll from nearby parking at the school and just a short stroll downtown. Please join us for a relaxing quiet respite and enjoy appropriate refreshments before or after your visit to the festival.
