I carried her picture around with me, drawing her, tracing her and wondering about her. What lines she carries in her face! And then one night I “got it” and put her face in this mountain. I think she belongs there.

This old farm was tucked into the edge of the forest on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state. Decades of resting in the Rain Forest have given the buildings a sense of being in the right place.

Through a whole series of events i Started thinking about the Appalachian Mountains and the women who played music. The background mountains are painted using a gel to give them some substance and then i started thinking about the people i wanted in these paintings and found this wonderful picture who i hope will resemble when the years permit.

Although i have never been to the Appalachian Mountains, my family did live there for generations. I thought it would be fun to add a picture of my ancestors to this cabin and pretend that they created music.

There are fewer and fewer of the old rances in Central Oregon. It seems that to preserve them I must put them on canvas so the next generations can enjoy them.

We have so few chances to just be quiet. Sometimes it would be nice to run away to a little cabin and just listen.

We have as many rim rocks as we do mountains, so I thought I would “try my hand” at expressing the wonder of them. Since we have people come from around to world to climb them, I thought I would add a couple of climbers. Can you find them?

Oil on Matt Board

What is an artist to do when there is a mountain intent on “getting out” and no canvas to paint it on? Grab a piece of matt board and work the oil into the fiber and walla, a painting is born. This is a view north of us with the vista of the desert leading up to Mt. Jefferson.

This friendly little Santa was hiding in my closet, with all of the other Christmas stuff. Sometimes it is great fun to open a closet and discover something that was painted many years ago.

The Blue Mountains are located east of us in Central Oregon and each new bend in the road presents a vista more beautiful than the last. This is my interpretation of the cragginess of the Rim Rocks.
