Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say? My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.

Capitol Reef Flowers
This is an oil painting, 14"x11", palette knife on linen, painted for a very special cause. I have been invited into the Richard Schmid Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department auction, held this year on August 31st, and this is the painting I have submitted for the auction. The volunteer fire department is just that -- no funds, just volunteers. Richard Schmid lived in these parts a few years back and began this amazing auction that has helped so many. Please consider bidding on this or any of the other pieces of art at www.RichardSchmidAuction.com. Thanks!
