Pum[kins in the field

Had fun with these pumpkins with our art class this year. I have painted many seasonal harvest scenes through the years that include pumpkins and other harvest veggies and grains ... I guess one just can't have too many of such things!

The Surrender Field

This piece was a commission to paint the Surrender Field located in Yorktown, Virginia. I wanted to present it at sunrise so as to signify the dawn of freedom! It is humbling to contemplate that a bunch of farmers with pitch forks brought  the most powerful army in the world to its knees on this very field. So embarrassed was Cornwallis, that he sent a subordinate to surrender his sword. It is a reverent place for me ... Providence clearly aided our forefathers to create this land of freedom! May we ever protect, honor and reverence it!

Red Canyon Overlook at the Flaming Gorge

The Flaming Gorge area of northeastern Utah is one of my favorite places in our beautiful state! I was commissioned to paint this beautiful scene of the Red Canyon Overlook for the new ICO Management offices in Lehi, Utah. The original was large ... 60"x48", so it was fun to paint to that scale! Enjoy ...
