New Paintings

I thought I would offer up some recent paintings and let them be my voice. Because of our situation - a temporary life here in a small apartment Salt Lake City - I’ve begun working with watercolors and in a smaller scale.   (16" x 20")


 Back in the late ‘80s I did some adventuring on the Amazon River. That experience has inspired a number of artistic explorations over the years.
I’ve turned again to this theme because it awakens in me a sense of life and mystery. It reminds me to take risks and be spontaneous.
These are a few of my most recent efforts.

Abundant Life!
I hope you enjoy the work.

  2. Beautiful. Lots of movement and color. Would love to hear about your Amazon adventure!

    I've had my own watercolors sitting out for a month. I keep staring at them, wanting to paint, hold them, stare at the paper, set them down, stare some more....you get the picture!

  3. Roger -- I love this work -- the "weaving" of color and motion -- very wonderful. Now Candi has some art to put in the frames!

  4. Wonderful works of art. The strength of the artist makes the paintings that much more meaningful. If you ever start selling your art I will be the first in line.
