"SCENT ON THE WIND" Cropped sold

This is part of a large painting from early in my career. Clients came from Alaska to purchase it, even though we were in the Stephan Fine Arts Galleries  in Anchorage. We have remained friends all these years.

"WINTER CROSSING" Available

On one of our many wonderful trips into the Rockies, we found ourselves in a  bad snow storm and could see animals moving out of the depth of the falling snow.  We came to this river's edge and were blessed once again to see this beautiful mule deer.  I have completed many paintings from that trip. An elk painting "Down From The High Country" was the cover of an Oregon Wildlife Federation Calendar. "Winter Crossing" is  11"X14'',  oil on linen.

''MAGPIE" Sold

This painting was a commission for another artist. I had not done birds since early in my career, I found Magpies to be very flighty birds, but very beautiful.

"THE ADVENTURER" Sold

Loved painting this, the three month old cougar cub and his brother were climbing stumps in our woods, climbing trees, climbing rocks, and swimming in the pond, he was not to fond of that, but it was his idea. They also loved my fish pond and thought the fish to be very interesting subjects. At the end of the day we wrapped them in towels to warm them up and let them play in the house while we all drank hot chocolate. LOVED this day.

"SOLITUDE" Available

A band of big horn sheep in AB Canada became tolerant of our presence. One morning, climbing the icy slope back up the mountain side, we reached a rock outcropping  free of snow and came face to face with this magnificent ram. We stood silent, this was a sight that makes your breath catch in your throat. This original oil painting, on linen, is available 14"X9".

This painting won First Place at Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show 1988: it was displayed at the CM Russell Show by invitation of another artist: then to a museum in England for a period of time and they contacted Christies and proposed my work be submitted to their upcoming auctions.

"WARM AFTERNOON" Sold

During a benefit show for Martine Colette's Wildlife Waystation (Poster Artist 1997), in the Angeles National Forest in California, the main handler brought this beautiful three year old male lion out of his compound for us to view. What an amazing cat, I was captivated.
