28 on 145

August 17, 2021


The very literal title of this new painting, "28 on 145," may well seem ambiguous, or at least a bit curious. And I will confess that titling a work can be somewhat challenging for me. I think that can be the case for many painters. My longtime friend, and fellow artist, Phyllis Kapp, keeps an anthology of song lyrics close at hand to inspire her romantic titles!

"28 on 145" is simply 28 aspen trees along Colorado Highway 145, south of Telluride. Not especially poetic, but highly descriptive!

25 or 6 to 4”

One for the Record

August 12, 2021


We had an exhilarating and, I’m happy to announce, victorious three days of sailing this past weekend.


Thirty three boats came to race in the 44th Annual Montana Cup Regatta on beautiful Flathead Lake. We had conditions that challenged even the most race hardened sailors. Gusts over 40 miles per hour, swells four feet in height, seemingly endless changes in wind direction, and cold rain that just would not quit, made for races that, truly, only the strong survived. I’m so proud to say my intrepid crew was equal to the daunting task! When all the fun ended on Sunday afternoon our boat Valkyrie was the winner! The victory made sweeter because of the boat handling and tactical challenges we'd faced.

Our Frers 33, Valkyrie, sailing in a rare moment of reasonable conditions

Here’s to all our competitors! Without you it would have just been another sailboat ride!

The Question Is...

August 4, 2021


Sometimes, it seems to me, that painting a better picture is about asking a better question. In this case I was attracted to a young stand of aspen against a sunny hillside.

And the very simple question is, what would the landscape look like if those greenish tree trunks were red?
