ENLARGE IMAGE	"St. Mark's" 21" x 21" acrylic on watercolor paper	$2,200.00
	Architecture has always been popular subject matter for paintings. Its design and construction has been a vehicle through which man has given expression to his finest creative energies. None of these creations have been more loved and respected than Europe's great cathedrals. St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, Italy is the subject of this painting.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Wilderness Church" 15" x 15" acrylic on masonite panel	$900.00
	With the tourist season over and the snow covering the paved pathways, this scene at Silver Dollar City evokes images of generations past when life was much quieter and much simpler. The rail fences and the logs used in the construction of this "Wilderness Church" were prepared with hand tools typical of the late 19th century.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Cross Over Golindrinas" 21" x 21" acrylic on watercolor paper	$1,750.00
	In the process of bringing Christianity to the indians of the American southwest, the Franciscians left behind an architectural heritage that includes many adobe chapels and churches. Because of my architectural experience, I find these structures fascinating. In addition to their historical significance, they make great subjects for paintings such as "Cross Over Golindrinas".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Bridge Over McKisic Creek" 22" x 22" acrylic on watercolor paper	$1,950.00
	The many creeks of NW Arkansas provide abundant inspiration for the landscape painter. Many of my most recent paintings are inspired by the lush foliage, gravel bars, clear water, and terrific reflections that are a part of these creeks. In "Bridge Over McKisic Creek" I have included a bridge that testifies to the presence of man and his additions to the natural landscape.
	This painting is currently committed to the Artists of Northwest Arkansas 2007 Exhibition. It will be available for purchase or consignment after December 14th.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Last Snow at Tanyard Creek" 24" x 24" acrylic on masonite panel	$2,300.00
	The winter landscape presents a challenge to painters because of the limited local color. In spite of this, it is a favorite subject for my work. The dark algae on the bottom of Tanyard Creek makes the water appear almost black. Add to that a late snow and you have the components of a dynamic composition for a limited palette painting.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"On Bath House Row " 21" x 29" acrylic on watercolor paper	$2.400.00
	The bath houses of Hot Springs are reminders of the rich and sometimes controversial history of this beautiful city in the mountains of central Arkansas. Although many of them are not currently functioning in their original capacity, these bath houses are still popular subjects for paintings. This painting, "On Bath House Row", is a close-up of an attractive architectural detail.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Cotton Wood Creek" 24" x 24" acrylic on masonite panel	$2,300.00
	"Cotton Wood Creek" is one of many streams in Grand Teton National Park. It was painted as an entry in the Arts for the Parks annual exhibition.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Stables" 21" x 29" acrylic on watercolor paper	$2,400.00
	Once the home of popular riding stables, this old barn has long been an icon to residents of Bella Vista Village, AR. Like many such structures it recently fell victim to progress. Replaced by a new elementary school, only nostalgic memories remain to remind us of it's place in the hearts and history of this village.
	This painting is currently committed to the Artists of Northwest Arkansas 2007 Exhibition. It will be available for purchase or consignment after December 14th.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Stables2" 22" x 28" acrylic on watercolor paper	$2.400.00
	Another view of of the riding stables at Bella Vista Village, AR: Overgrown with weeds and suffering from neglect, this once thriving business is now only a hint of the role it played in the community. This painting was done only weeks before the barn was demolished to make room for new construction.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Stables 2 (study)" (a plein air painting) 10" x 14" acrylic on watercolor paper	$560.00
	This small plein air painting was executed as a study for a larger studio painting, "Stables 2".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Fallen" 18" x 24" acrylic on canvas	$1,750.00
	For years I had watched this old pine tree, from it's healthy upright position to it's current fallen and decaying condition. Falling victim to pine beetles and destined to blend into the soil "from whence it came", it somehow represented a profound metaphor for the life cycle of all living things. After sketching and photographing it many times, I was finally compelled to bring closure to this relationship by painting "Fallen".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Dancing With a White Elephant" 14" x 21" acrylic on watercolor paper	$1,175.00
	These onyx carvings decorate the mantle over my fireplace. I am often intrigued by their translucency and subtle color variations. They seem to virtually glow under the light, and the shadows on the wall behind them echo their form. These fascinating characteristics make them a challenging subject for the painting, "Dancing With a White Elephant".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Eureka Springs House" 10" x 14 " acrylic on watercolor board	$560.00
	Although weathered and showing evidence of it's age, this "Eureka Springs House" still shows signs of it's more prosperous days. In the spring, summer or fall seasons it is virtually engulfed by foliage typical of this Ozark town that we affectionately call "Little Switzerland".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Church at Lamy" 21" x 29" acrylic on watercolor paper	$2,400.00
	As an architect, I am fascinated by the indigenous architecture of the American southwest, especially the adobe structures. None of these structures are more beautiful than the religious architecture ranging from small chapels to larger and more striking examples such as this "Church at Lamy".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"White and Turquoise" 18" x 27" acrylic on watercolor paper	$1,950.00
	The sun bleached white cow skulls and the bright turquoise colors are iconic images of the American southwest. This combination inspired the painting of "White and Turquoise".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Girl in a Purple Shirt" 14.5" x 21.5" acrylic on watercolor paper	$1,250.00
	The rich earthy color of the adobe structure as a backdrop for the "Girl in a Purple Shirt" was just too much to resist. The predominance of muted earthy colors in this high plains desert setting makes any incident of a bright color much more significant.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Ruins" 10" x 14" acrylic on watercolor board	$560.00
	A painting such as "Ruins" can't fully communicate the sense of mystery one feels standing among the ruins of an ancient civilization that abandoned what appeared to be a thriving community. What motivated such a move? Where did they go? These architectural remnants enriched by the mystery are tempting subjects for an artist.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Santa Fe Suburbs" 10" x 14" acrylic on canvas	$560.00
	As an architect I admire any attempt to maintain the regional character of the built environment. Although contemporary materials and the technology differ, the aesthetic of "Santa Fe Suburbs" is still reminiscent of the adobe architecture that is the heritage of this city and this region of the USA. In spite of the temptation to paint the older and more authentic adobe structures, this newer "house in the suburbs" looks quite at home in it's environment.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"The Color of Spring" 21" x 21" acrylic on watercolor paper	$1,750.00
	This painting, "The Color of Spring" is about the coming of spring to this old pecan orchard. It is about the colors and textures of our ever-changing landscape, both natural and man-made. It is about man creating his "places" within the natural environment. This combination of the natural and the man-made is the subject of many of my paintings.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Hill Town " 16" x 20" acrylic on canvas	$1,300.00
	I have a fascination with Italian hill towns. The subject of this painting is Assisi, Italy, the home of St. Francis of Assisi. One can't walk it's streets without being aware of it's rich history. A painter can't walk it's streets without being inspired by the form, rich textures and colors of it's architecture. Such a walk was the inspiration for this painting, "Hill Town".

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Oklahoma Relic " 10" x 14 " acrylic on watercolor paper	$560.00
	The dark clouds of an approaching storm had not yet shut out the sunlight that illuminated this old and still proud architectural relic and the hillside covered with winter grass. A fleeting moment that can only be captured by a quick photo and an image imprinted in the memory of the artist.

ENLARGE IMAGE	"Church With Stone Wall" 21" x 29" acrylic on watercolor paper	$2,400.00
	The subject of this painting is a composition of fragments from the memory of several places. Sometimes it just seems right to combine fragmented memories in a painting of a hypothetical subject. If they don't exist in this combination, perhaps they should.
