Reflective Stroll on the Charles Bridge


My daughter, Rachelle, and her little family lived in the Czech Repulic for about 5 years. We had several opportunities to visit them and experience the beauty of Prague first hand! We have walked across this famous old bridge many times. This scene was how I recalled one of my first visits there ... it had rained a bit and dusk was settling in ... it was a very peaceful scene. I hope I was able to capture that moment for you! Acrylic on canvas 18"x 24" studio wrap.

To bind on earth and seal in heaven ...


This is a typical scene at our Bountiful Temple from the north and east side. We love having the temple so close to us ... literally it is only about 4-5 minutes away! I have painted this temple more than any other! Acrylic on canvas 24"x 18".

Ah, Venezia ...


Maureen and I had the opportunity to travel with Paul and Nadine Craig this past November to Venice, Italy and points beyond. I was able to paint a little during the cruise, but painted these two scenes just the other day from some photos and thumbnails I sketched while there. I experimented with a more impressionistic approach this time ... a technique I have been working on lately. Impressionism is quite popular these days, so I thought I had better figure it out! Both are Acrylic on canvas about 18" x 24".
