Paintings
These paintings were done in plein air in oils with a strong sense of color and texture. I love the experience of working in nature. Changing light, bugs and weather are all challenges but also give me a sense of urgency and spontenaety.

Pastel drawings
These pastels were done en plein air, on location at some very beautiful places. Pastels give me an opportunity to work in a more delicate hand, as well as using a different kind of mark-making and layering of pure color.

Encaustics
Encaustic, an ancient technique employing wax and pigment was used by the Greeks to decorate their ships and for funerial portraits. Mine are of landscapes, and sometimes animals.

Drawings black and white
Working in black and white is an enjoyable experience for me; the challenge is to still express color.
