Hope everyone enjoyed that extra hour of sleep! 😴 Those of us here in Arizona, who don't participate in Daylight Saving Time, I could have really put that extra hour to good use!

There's nothing quite like experiencing an original painting in person seeing the textures, brushwork, colors, and details that don't always come across in a photograph.

If you're in the area, I hope you'll make plans to stop by, explore the artwork, and say hello. I'd love to see you!

Looking forward to a great November and hope to see you out there!

New Work!

"Salt River Ponies"

Wild horses, warm desert light, and the quiet beauty of the Salt River come together in this original oil painting.

I wanted to capture more than a moment—I wanted to capture the feeling of freedom and the untamed spirit of the Arizona landscape. The warm light across the water and open desert gives this piece a sense of movement, atmosphere, and place.

Salt River Ponies is an original 24" × 36" oil painting, available for collectors who want to bring a piece of the Arizona desert into their home.

🌅 Before the desert wakes up...

There’s something special about getting outside early with a fresh panel and a cup of coffee before the day gets moving. This morning’s study wasn’t about painting a specific place—it was about chasing color. Soft violets, cool blues, warm pinks, and those fleeting cloud shapes that seem to change every thirty seconds.

These small studies are where I get to experiment, simplify, and enjoy the process without overthinking. Sometimes the best part is realizing the sky has already changed by the time you mix the right color.

Anyone else a fan of sunrise colors, or are you more of a sunset person?

"Ranch Hand" work in progress

06/25/2026

Some subjects never lose their pull. The relationship between horse and rider remains one of the defining images of the American West—built on trust, hard work, and a deep connection to the land.

In this piece, I focused on simplifying the composition into bold shapes and color relationships, allowing the rider and horse to emerge from the landscape while remaining part of it. The result is a study of both figure and place, rooted in the spirit of the Southwest.
