Inspiration is great, but what if you can’t find it? One of the challenges every artist faces is how to get a painting started. I’ll share my tried and true techniques and demonstrate how I get things off and running in pastel and oil painting.
Join me for a gallery talk and demonstration at M. A. Doran Gallery in Tulsa on Saturday, April 26th from 1:30-2:30pm.

Nature is usually messy. There’s one aspect of landscape painting that is a constant. That is, bringing just enough order to the painting that it resonates with a sense of place for me, without organizing the life out of it!
Too orderly feels sterile. Too chaotic feels, well, messy. It’s a balancing act.

We’re down to just five for days of riding the ski lifts at Big Mountain. Starting next week we’ll have to walk up in order to ski down. Looks like we’re in for an early spring here in northwest Montana.
Here’s a painting from a few years ago inspired by the softer colors and softer light we enjoy this time of year. So much of what I do simply requires me to keep my eyes open!
