oil Most of my work is oil on stretched canvas, although I also work in chalk pastel regularly. Using realism and impressionism, my goal to share my love of the outdoors with my art.

oil I bring the outside in. Sometimes portraying an entire landscape, other times examining and abstracting nature through color and motion. All of my work is created in oil paint on stretched canvas.

oil As an oil painter I use traditional methods for a painting. Value study, underpainting and final step of adding color. I use fine oil paints in a limited palette with the linquin medium

oil I paint in oils in an Impressionistic style using pigments, walnut oil, brushes, knives, and often I use cold wax for texture and in creating mid-tones. I paint exclusively on canvas.

oil I start to compose & decompose the subject using loose brushstrokes, bold, and saturated colors until the oil painting comes alive. Many of my paintings feature my signature runs and impassioned drips
