The Far Bank
This is from the same area, just a different view, of the beautiful river bank. My wife and I have been walking my the river in the mornings and I wish I could add the wonderful aroma to my paintings. Nothing like the smell of the river.

Summer River Bank
After a loooong hiatus to concentrate on painting a show for Sue Greenwood Fine Art I am back at Daily Dose! It feels good! So we will start with this-
The beautiful river bank with glint of sunlight on the water.

A Shed In Wyoming
I was attracted to the early morning light that was on this lonely shed outside a gas station in Wyoming.

The Shallows
I am always intrigued by the surface of water. In this case, the Boise River, which runs right by our home.

Float
This is where you put in your tube when you float the Boise River. The water level is low here but thoughts of summer are not far off.

Quiet determination
This guy sits on our piano. I painted it for my wife as a gift for Christmas. The original usually resides on our porch but right now sits on my flat file at the studio. That face, an expression of quiet determination.
New work installed in Park City
It was a wild and woolly ride up to Park City taking the last painting to the Julie Nester Gallery. As we rounded the corner to enter Parley’s Canyon truckers lined the road chaining up. It was snowing like mad. It was coming in sideways. Visibility was 10 feet maybe, and I’m thinking, “what am I doing?” I brought my daughter and niece along too as company. When we got to the gallery the box with the painting in it on top of the car looked a little soggy but otherwise all was well. The drive back was even more harrowing, ah well anything for art.
Here are my assistants:
And a couple more images of my work hanging in the gallery:
Big Canal
I have always been drawn to canals. I love they the way they carve up space.

Painting transparency
This is the bust I was referring to in my previous post. Veiled Lady by Bazzanti resides in the Bankfield Museum in England. I think this is an amazing piece, you can feel the sheerness of the veil but it’s stone. The problem of depicting an object or person beneath sheer material is fascinating. I think you have to think of it as a whole, not as two separate things. Many years ago when I was in college I used to stand by a stream that ran through the lower campus of BYU. I was mesmerized by the moving water. I could see the surface of the stream, the reflections, the bottom, everything all at once and the question was how would I paint that. It was an intellectual pursuit really, because I never set up an easel by that stream to tackle the problem. So the Bizzanti piece, the stream, “The Couch” piece, and “Boxes” are kind of dealing with the same thing. I think I need to go back to that stream again, but this time armed with paint.
Water tank in Santa Ana
This is the last piece going to the Julie Nester Gallery. It’s 48 x 60 and is going tomorrow via the top of my car. This one came together perfectly. It was the right balance between lost and found edges, and loose and tight passages. I love the rhythm set up by the support structure holding up this immense water tank. I found it in Santa Ana, California. I think I will paint this again but break it down and change the background color so that it absorbs the structure.
