Bellagio Alley
from $143.50
This image was taken in the town of Bellagio, Italy on Lake Como. The rustic Italian architecture on a sun-drenched September day made for a perfect scene in this charming alleyway. This image presents with a distressed texture to complement the spirit of the scene. Please see the catalog for traditional black and white and sepia versions of this piece.

Hong Kong Junk
from $143.50
This photographs show one of the few remaining junk boats left in Hong Kong Harbor. This one is used for tourist rides. The thick, humid atmosphere separates the modern Hong Kong skyline from the traditional design of the junk. I feel that this image looks especially nice in the floating frame options but feel free to choose the full frame options if you prefer.

Venice Canal
from $143.50
A quiet canal in Venice, Italy illuminated by beautiful Italian sunlight and thick atmosphere. This photograph brings any room to life with its classic Italian feel and old world charm. I feel that this photograph looks very nice in the black or wood frame options.

Tales from the Road – Scottsdale Art Auction
OK, surprise number one was seeing my best friend from sixth grade on the plane to Phoenix. I had not seen him in about 20 years! Surprise number two, seeing the auction version of my last painting acquisition at the Scottsdale Art Auction! I knew this painting was going to auction because Jay Moore was [...]
“Portovenere View” Oil Painting
In Italy last summer, to escape the Cinque Terre tourist crush, we stayed just south of the five famous fishing villages in a town called Portovenere. It’s about a 20 minute cab ride on a twisty hillside road from La Spezia. The town was home to mostly Italian tourists, had a laid back atmosphere, and [...]
Mystery Boat Oil Painting
Honestly, I’m not trying to be cute with the title. It’s just that I can’t really name this until at least a few folks take a guess as to the where this boat is and what it is used for. I have a lonely apron upstairs waiting for a home. I know this is a [...]
Boat Sketch – Guess where and what
There it is, just sitting there patiently waiting full of promise and potential. This is today’s project and I can’t wait to get the brushes out. I’m sure you can tell it’s of a boat. You just need to tell me where it is and for what primary purpose it is used for to get [...]
Pauline Chapel Challenge Painting
This one was fun! I am pretty excited about being able to use HDR photo’s for references when it it tough for me to get outside to paint. The more information the better and HDR photos definitely have more information to work with. While painting this, I was really just concentrating on translating the feeling [...]
Pauline Chapel Sketch
Is it me or would it seem impossible to wing this? I made a few mistakes in the process of drawing the chapel while giving it my full attention. I can’t imagine heading right into this piece without setting the bones in place first. I had to get a three -foot piece of aluminum angle [...]
Light and Color Illusions in Art
I came upon something today that I just had to share with fellow artists. Lotto Lab has created a set of powerful color, motion and shape illusions that are quite relevant to us as artists as we strive to communicate accurate color and light in our paintings. Much of Lotto Lab’s research is centred on [...]
Will Art Magazines Move to iPad?
As I have said before, the odds are good that Apple’s iPad will breathe new life into the publishing industry. Having been involved in marketing and advertising for the past 20 years, I have seen with my own eyes what the web has done to many trade magazines. Most seem to be scrambling to come [...]
“Mining Museum” Final Oil Painting
After struggling to paint the dormant cottonwood trees that are at the location of the museum, I decided to replace them with evergreens. Unless I decide to move to the deserts of the Middle East, I need to spend some time learning to paint a variety of trees. I liked the look of the house [...]
Accurate drawing before painting
In my obsessive quest to learn as much as possible about the process of creating successful oil paintings, I am reading Richard Schmid’s highly acclaimed book, Alla Prima. My project for this weekend is to take some of the elements I have learned from my month of drawing exercises and apply them to my painting [...]
I travel the world in search of beauty and bring home what I see through my lens.
By sharing what I learn along the way, I hope to inspire others to pursue their passions daily.
