When I was a boy growing up in Saskatchewan, I used to look far into the distance and wish I had more trees around me....to protect me and make the place feel less empty.

Now I have lots of trees around me, but I still like to look very far into the distance.

It's a big, NOISY world...
So I make small, quiet paintings...

.........................................................

Here you can purchase original paintings at very affordable prices. The work is small. Why? Because an intimate scale encourages maximum intuition, freedom and experimentation.

There is a desire to bear witness every day. It seems negligent not to record how the world looked and felt today.....it will be very different tomorrow.

Enjoy your visit. New work will be added regularly, so please check back often. You may also visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/paintbox1/
