End of the Day

 

 

​Painted this from a photo I took

from my motel room in Burns, Oregon last summer.

This scene played out across the road

and was so lovely - the colors in the clouds

and the light across the pasture and trees.

Storm Clouds

 

 

​Painted for DPW's "Skying" challenge.

I used a photo I took of a summer storm

moving over the Grand Tetons with Jackson Lake

 in the foreground.

I particularly liked the way the low lying clouds

wrapped themselves around these majestic mountains.

Intense Beginning

 

 

​Not being a morning person,

 it is rare that I get to witness a sunrise so spectacular as this.

 But I did.

One morning when I was on a road trip, I wanted to get an early start

and was treated to a glorious scene.

I have never forgotten how beautiful the kaleidoscope of colors were,

 that were painted across the clouds and sky and reflected in the lake.

 This is painted from that memory so it is part realism,

part impressionism and part fantasy.

Rainbow

 

 

​In the PNW rain is a weather staple,

 but often with many sun breaks,

which send beautiful rainbows

arching across the cloudy skies.

Winter Starry Sky

 

 

Science says that everything

 is made from the same stuff as stars.

 In that light, in painting this skyscape of the milky way,

I brought the starry sky down into the landscape

in a continuous connection.

Alpine Glow

 

 

As a first big winter storm approaches,

 the setting sun casts an amazing pink

 "Alpine Glow" over the snow topped foothills

 and scurrying clouds

against the darkening evening sky.
