In the surf – I got the idea for this when I received an email from my cousin Mike in northern Minnesota who wrote that it was minus 22 degrees when he went out to start his car that morning. That email was dated March 7^th; just a couple of days ago. I suggested they take a vacation to somewhere warm and sunny. Now, on to the painting. How do you paint the natural force of water in motion, the almost controlled violence of the surf and spray and man’s use and mastering of that force? Well, I’m not sure that I’ve done it. I’ve tried by using different colors and values mixed with a lot of light. I’d like your input and comments. Thanks

In The Powder – For those of you who live near popular sky areas this is probably a familiar sight. If not, you should go see it. We were riding in the alpine gondola at Mammoth Mountain a few years ago at the time an Olympic sky team was practicing there. Sights like this were common all that day. This painting is a composite of the pictures taken on that day.

Downhill – I’ve always said that to learn you have to challenge. You start with a blank white canvas and use lights, darks, different tones and values to achieve something new and exciting. It’s not as easy as it looks, but if you study the subject, derive a plan and follow it, you usually end up with an acceptable result. Well, this was a new challenge for me. I had to pay particular attention to the light, after all, snow is usually white and on a clear day the sky is usually blue. I discovered that contrasts were the key to this painting. I would value your opinions so please take the time to let me know what you think…
