Scottish Beauty, my newest painting. From a photograph that my nephew took on his travels in Scotland, he told me that this was a landscape they particularly loved. I tried to create depth in the painting to emphasize the mountains in the distance. The sky and its reflection was fun to paint. One of these days I’ll get to Ireland to see this in person.

Another Mono Lake view, this time looking toward Mt. Whitney in CA. I love the contrast between the dark, cold mountain and the hot, white salt pillars. The transition between the two, from foreground warmth to distant cold adds depth to the scene.

Another winner! “Self-Relection” brought in a 2nd Place at the 13th Annual KVCC (Kalamazoo Valley Community College) Alumni Art Show in the Center for New Media Gallery in downtown Kalamazoo. The show is on during the June Art Hop. I’m celebrating the recognition.
