Silver Lake

This is a beautiful little setting high atop American Fork canyon in the Wasatch Mountain range of northern Utah. It is not far from our home, yet its Alpine beauty whispers remoteness and seclusion. We took our family on a hike there several years ago ... very beautiful indeed!

Beautiful Bear Lake

For several years now our daughter-in-law has wanted me to do a painting of a beautiful lake in northern Utah called Bear Lake. It is located in a high mountain valley and the view from the top of the pass as you enter the valley is truly spectacular. Our grand daughter recently took a great photo from that specific spot so I could have some reference material from which to base my painting. I did my best to capture the unique turquoise color of the water and the grandeur of the vista.

Lago di Como

Lake Como is widely regarded as being one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy, renown for its breath-taking scenery. It has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and wealthy people for centuries, and is today, a very popular tourist attraction. It is not far from Milano, and someday Maureen and I hope to be able to visit in person, but for now I just know it from photos. This is an impressionistic view of the town of Como from the lake. Hope you enjoy it! Acrylic on canvas 24" x 18" gallery wrapped.

The Uintah Experience

Growing up in Utah provided me many different types of "nature" opportunities. Within a couple of hours in any direction, we have the gamete of venues ... from high mountain alpine to arid desert; from warm water bass to high mountain trout.

One of my favorite memories from my youth was the many high Uintah experiences my dad and I shared. I have painted several scenes of the Lakes of the High Uintahs over the years ... here is the latest. When I paint scenes like this, I can still smell the trees, and feel the crisp mountain air. I almost can't wait for my fly to "alight" upon the water! Acrylic on canvas (18" x 24")
