Some of my early work from 1996

This is probably the most photographed light house in the world ... it was one of my very first paintings. I remember painting it on the kitchen table because I didn't own an easel yet! I gave it to my good friends Jerry and Verlyn Pullman years ago. They have always been supportive of my painting efforts and I wanted them to have it as a show of my appreciation. Acrylic on canvas 20"x 16" (Spring 1996)

This is one of my very favorite pieces of my early work. I learned a lot from this painting experience. It is a scene in Capitol Reef that caught my eye as we made our way down to Lake Powell in 1996 ... Acrylic on canvas 20"x 16" (Fall 1996)
