Inlet Stream

As the Bitterroot River rises water flows into inlets creating small scenes. Grasses and shrubs are punctuated by numerous colors as the water flows on by.

Tail of White

We saw this doe as we came around the bend in the trail. The Rocky Mountains east of Stevensville, MT are in the background. Tree on the left has fallen due to work by the beavers.

Otto Mill


This is a painting of the old "Otto" mill located near the waterfall in the previous painting. There were several mills in this area. This building is now fading into history.

This waterfall is located in western New York. It is at the site of an old mill long that was torn down years ago. As you drive along the road this sight comes up without any fanfare. It is a magical place that takes your breath away.

Nature's Classroom: Flight




This is an oil painting of Leah standing on a fence observing birds in various stages of flight. I enjoy seeing kids experience nature with all it's wonders first hand. These are priceless memories.

Bitterroot River


I was asked to do this painting based on one of my reference photographs of a fall scene, with a variation. The request was to replace the yellows of fall with greens in the painting to match the color scheme of the livingroom. Cottonwoods and aspens trees line many of Montana's nearby rivers.
