The Hankster ...


I first met my good friend, Hank Boehm, in 1988 as our guide on the Green River. Gary Wright had arranged for a guided float trip for us through Angler's Inn. By the luck of the draw, Hank was our guide. It was so fun, that I continued to book successive trips with Hank through the years.
We have become great friends and even work together now @ Ivory Homes. I painted this scene of him on the upper Provo River for his birthday. Tight lines, Hank!

The Glow of Christmas ...

We recently had the opportunity to stay with the Hrncirik "bugs" while Rachelle and Cory attended his sister's wedding reception in Houston. I was in "Grandpa heaven"! While we were there, I had the kids pose for this "impressionistic" Christmas tree scene.

"To be lifted once more in a glorious light,
The Spirit of Christmas you embody tonight,
Decked out in splendor your time has now come,
To herald the birth of God's loving Son".

This is one of my "mini" paintings ... Acrylic on canvas (11" x 14")

Manti Magic ...


The Manti Temple holds a special place in my heart ... My parents were married there, and I received a powerful confirmation of the reality of the Book of Mormon while attending the Manti Pagent during my junior year of high school. I gave this temple scene to Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary in July of 2003. I had earlier painted a similar scene for Carl and Margaret Truman as well. Acrylic on canvas (24" x 18")
