Morning, Cumberland Falls

Oil on linen, 14 x 11 in. | Private collection

Cumberland Falls in southern Kentucky is a jewel of a painting location. I joined a group of local plein air artists and came up with this piece. I hoped to capture the impression of the early morning sun on the falls just as it passed above the trees and illuminated the mist and boulders downstream.

Morning on St. Mary's Lake

Oil on linen panel, 14 x 18 in. | Private Collection

Painted during Plein Air Glacier in June 2016. I had seen this view as an eight-year-old on my first trip to Glacier National Park, and I went back to see if it still struck me as powerfully as it did then. It did! I painted this near the Rising Sun picnic area on the Going to the Sun Road; to get to this spot, I had to ignore a lot of "Bear Frequenting" signs. (Don't worry, Mom. I kept that bear spray close at hand.)

Best of Show & First Place Oil, 2014 Augusta Plein Air Festival

I painted this on the very last day of the Augusta Plein Air Festival in Augusta, MO. I had been waiting all week for a sunrise to break through the overcast skies, and it finally happened. I scouted out a painting location using Google Maps—I knew I wanted to paint the light hitting a bend in the Missouri River.
