IN THE SHADOW OF
8x8inch oil on panel
The magic of the mountain, changing, growing, ruling the sky and lands below. The Barn also changing, fading, empty, and yet adding to the magic of the mountain.

EMPTY
EMPTY
6x6 oil on panel
In crossing the heartlands sometimes up close most of the time far away; one can see empty barns, some standing proudly most looking tired, all have stories if when one stops to listen. I stood for a time and stared at this one, took a few photos and now in painting it I feel I've given it life again.

STANDING PROUD
STANDING PROUD
6x6" oil on wood panel
Driving back from Cambria on Exit 29, a crazy and winding road, I rounded a corner and there, looming up over a hill was this barn. Finding a place to stop, I jumped out of my van, camera in hand. One shot was all that was needed of this beauty "standing proud".

"THE JOURNEY"
"THE JOURNEY"
24X24 oil on canvas
There comes that time when one has to see what is down that road. It is hard to say no to that calling. Leaving can be a challenge but, with blue skies ahead and endless possibilities, the moment has come to say goodbye to the old and say hello to a new journey. In painting this, I too went on a journey. I wanted to express the vastness of life, the scale of the boy to the barn and the lands before him. It took a long time for me to feel what I wanted to convey, and like the boy, I ventured out and feel I have achieved that goal.
This painting is available and will be at this summers Laguna Beach Festival of Arts in Southern California.
