In the studio now ...
Come back often to watch a selection of my paintings develop from start to finish.
​I usually work on several paintings at a time, particularly with oils, which involve multiple glazes planned out ahead of time, each glaze needing to dry before the next.

The Riverside

I might have called this one cathedral. It's how I feel when seeing light filtering through the tops of trees.
In truth, all of life is a cathedral. My paintings' purpose is to offer a window.

My method of painting in oils requires layering thin glazes of colors

To keep the colors from blending together, each glaze dries a couple of days before the next goes on
