Olimbos Greece

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x12



This village clinging to the side of a mountain on a Grecian island is as picturesque as a scene can be. Another location for the bucket list! $500.00

This small study was painted directly on the canvas without drawing or underpainting. My goal was to capture the morning light and hazy silhouettes of the buildings in gradations of intensity from the horizon ...in other words, light in the back to dark in the front. $300.00

Trail West

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20


The covered wagons climb up the mountain trail and a column of smoke tells them they are not alone in the wilderness. The play of light and shadow is what interested me the most in this painting. I wanted to capture the vastness and beauty of the landscape in the tradition of the Hudson River artists. $950.00

Moonscape

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16

This painting almost painted itself. I was in the zone, music playing and my brush just danced across the surface of the canvas until it was finished. I think I heard the frigid winds howling over the snow covered mountain while the baleful moon glowed above. I'm glad this wasn't a Plein Air painting. Available from the artist for $800.00

The only thing better than a hot air balloon is four of them! I think they look like brightly colored Easter Eggs floating in the sky. Available from the artist for $900.00

Balloon Painting, "Above the Dragon's Teeth"

Above the Dragon's Teeth
20x24 Original - Acrylic on canvas
The Dragon's Teeth Mountains are a fictional mountain range in the Shannara book series by Terry Brooks. I haven't actually read the books but I liked the name, and this is how I envisioned the mountains looking. Of course I had to have a hot air balloon sailing above them. hot air balloon canvas prints
