Christy in the Canoe



Christy in the Canoe 11”x14” o/c
One day Christy stopped by and asked me if I would like to go out in the canoe. I was right in the middle of painting but it was such a beautiful day I decided to take a break. It was so peaceful out on the lake we made our way around a couple times before she dropped me back at the dock. As she rowed away, I saw a painting appearing before my eyes. The next day I stood in the same spot and started the under-painting for this painting. I found the painting leaning up against the wall the other day and pulled it out to finish it. What lovely memories this painting brought back to me.

Shaving Brush


Shaving Brush 8"x6" Oil on Linen on Panel $130.

Memories of my father in the bathroom standing in front of a mirror lathering up his face. Later listening as he drug the razor across the stubble of his beard. My fear that he might cut himself as he tipped his chin up to shave his neck. My pride when he made it through the process. The aroma of Old Spice? For my dad shaving was a morning practice with an extra evening shave for special occasions.

Grand Marnier


Grand Marnier 10”x8” o/l $225. SOLD
One of my favorite liqueurs. The orange flavor is smooth and aroma crisp. I think they have also done a very nice job with the bottle.

Engel's View Morning - East Rosebud Lake


Engle’s View Morning – East Rosebud Lake 40”x52” o/c $5640.
Yellow and peach creeps over the mountain tops early in the morning, once again proving that there is a high price for sleeping in.

This is a large palette knife painting. Make arrangements to stop by and see it.
