All limited edition giclée prints are sold with a certificate of authenticity. I also hand brush a top layer of acrylic polymer
emulsion with a gloss sheen to duplicate the texture of brushstrokes found on the original painting. Remember, giclées are
sold without a frame.
“Barn Dance”
Poppies are one of my favorite flowers and these Poppies with their
almost “stained glass” quality just begged to be painted. This piece
was chosen as one of the top 100 finalists in the Blossom II
International Floral Art Competition and Exhibition in 2011. In
creating this painting, I was intrigued not only by the colors but the
rhythm of “swirling skirts” and “bobbing heads” which reminded me
of a barn dance. I composed this painting to draw your eyes
through the picture like you were looking at the rising and falling
notes on a piece of sheet music.
“In A Temple Garden”
While exploring the Byodo-In Temple on Oahu in Hawaii, I was struck by the
slowly gliding black swans and the frantic swirling motion of the koi as they
shared the same area of pond space—one above and the other underneath.
The challenge was to present these divergent movement styles into a
cohesive, well-designed whole.

“The Importance of Being Ernest”
Ernest the Cat belongs to a good friend of mine in Wyoming. One morning, I
had the good fortune to catch him just “being Ernest” as light flooded him with
beautiful color tones and purple shadows. This painting was a study in purple
and orange. The title refers to the play by Oscar Wilde of a similar name, “The
Importance of Being Earnest”, and pays homage to my friend’s thespian
leanings and the haughtiness that Ernest seems to reflect in this pose.
“Lazy Afternoon”
Wolves are amazing creatures and favorites of mine to paint.
Wolves spend a good bit of the daytime hours resting. Hunting and
patrolling begins as afternoon blends into evening. As the waning
light of day creates long shadows over the surrounding terrain, this
regal female gray wolf waits for the action yet to come.

“Golden Days”
In the late summer/early fall, ripening seed heads of wild sunflowers
or black-eyed susans bring on the goldfinches, among other seed
eaters, to partake of the bounty of the season. The backlit elements
bring a great sense of drama to this life-size presentation.

“Morning at Soda Butte”
The Soda Butte formation in
Yellowstone National Park is an
unusual light gray mound of volcanic ash “stone” which
overlooks the Lamar Valley. It lent its name to one of the
early reintroduced wolf packs in the Park and was the
general area where I saw my first wolf in the wild—albeit
from a very great distance. This painting depicts a black
variant of the gray wolf clan standing on Soda Butte
overlooking the Lamar Valley in the soft light of early
morning.

“Bouldering”
This coyote is bounding around on boulders strewn across a meadow as
late afternoon light creates a somewhat reddish veil over
everything—including the coyote. The touches of autumnal color further
heighten the warm palette in use here.
