THE FAR END OF THE VALLEY Long afternoon shadows, late spring on Pine Creek, Pine Valley. SOLD 13" X 20"
PUZZLE ROCK Late spring snow above the Powder River on the way to Baker City. It's my own name for the rock formation because it looks like an anthropomorphic Rubik's cube 17" X 26"
WALLOWA LLAMAS AT SPRING CREEK DRAINAGE This drainage flows into the Snake River just a few hundred yards below this view. Wallowa Llamas is a packing outfit owned by Raz and Louise Rassmussen of Halfway, Oregon. 18" X 24" SOLD
ON LOWER COVE ROAD A field of yellow flowers that may be butter lupine, on a soft spring day north of Cove. 16" X 25" SOLD
SUNSETATLESLIE GULCH Not done from a personal photo but I've been there at sunset and it feels just like this. 20" X 32" SOLD
THE SAG IN SPRING The Sag is a small unpopulated valley off the end of our main valley. It can have a very mystical feeling in certain lights. The farthest mountain is across the Snake River in Idaho. 12" X 36" SOLD
GOING INTO WOODS I've done two versions of this scene and both have sold immediately! 20" X 26" SOLD
WEST WALL SEQUENCES Wild thorn-bush, a shrub form of Hawthorne, crisscrosses the valley along fence-lines and streams making for very colorful autumns in our valley. 22" X 25"
RICHLAND HILLS I enjoyed using a looser style on this sceneof larger shapes and less detail 18" X 24"
WETLAND STREAM The challenge was to paint the transparent moving water and sandy bottom accurately. 18" X 24"
RIVER ROCKS A group of striking water-banded rocks on the Powder River returning from Baker City 16" X 24"
FIELD ROAD IN SPRING I paint this view from my studio regularly to catch different times of day and the changing seasons. 14" X 21"
BROWNLEE RESERVOIR I've been enjoying painting in this panorama format. It seems the only way to really capture the immense feeling of the Snake River area. The Powder River fills this reservoir and flows through these hill to the Snake. 12" X 36"
FOREST WINDOW A view from our yard looking through a gap in the trees, across an old pioneer road to the field beyond. This painting is all about the colors. 8" X 10"
