Below are images of recent paintings.  These were all done for the love of painting and nothing else.  None of these paintings have been sold, but none of them have been shown either. So without further delay, here are my paintings.

American Dream

30" x 18" Oil on canvas.

This painting depicts a dream I've had about the ghost of a native to this land sending out

a titanic herd of buffalo to makes these plains flat again.

Rainy Night

48" x 10" Acrylic on canvas.

This painting was inspired by that feeling I get sometimes when I am out driving through the rain

and all of the street lights and car lights reflect off the ground in such a way that it seems like I am

staring into an abyss.

Soaring Bird

24" x 10" Oil on canvas.

I love fixing my eyes on a bird in flight in the sky above me.  I am always inspired. It is this painting.

Painted Models

48" x 36"

I've been making paintings like this collage of figures for quite awhile now.  They remind me of a stained glass window and a symphony of color.  I plan on making a series of paintings of this sort in the future.

For now though I have only this one.  There is another one like it out there in the world somewhere, it was stolen from my sister (who had borrowed it from me). In a way it is a positive because my painting was desirable enough to have been stolen. But I am still not happy with someone stealing my work.  So if you have seen a match to this painting out there let me know.

Van Gogh Copy

20" x 14" Oil on canvas.

This painting was done while studying at the U of I.  It is a direct copy of a work of Vincent Van Gogh.  I want to do more of these though because they are beautiful and convincing as copies.
