Painting is my passion. A day spent painting is a great day. It brings me great joy and is also is a constantly challenging endeavor. I choose a variety of subjects to paint in order to improve my skills in all areas. Painting Plein Air is my preference, which means outside on location in the natural light. I also will paint still life, from real life objects. There are days it is difficult and I will paint from my sketches and photos as well. Or I will paint in the studio when I am doing a really large painting. My biggest so far was a commision 40" x 60" of the Burnet Reservoir in Asheville. Contact me if you are interested in a commission and let's talk!
