A Texas Modern Impressionist ~ Stories in Oils, Watercolors, Pastel, Pencil

With a single brush stroke across a white canvas, I begin to pass on to you a story. You might think it began in a field nearby my home as the sun rose, or even 1200 miles away in Jackson, Wyoming...but it truly began thousands of years ago when the world was created. In every rock and mountain upon this earth, there is a history of seasons and the life growing around it. In every tree and plant there is a history of seasons, of years of life surrounding it. In every race there is a history of seasons, again with years of life building it. In every family there is a history of those that lived before and in each of us is the continuation of that story. Taking care not to be lost in the past, but to capture moments in time on canvas from both yesterday and today is my story.

My art is a gift which comes through God, and with this gift my paintings give on to you part of His creation, a captured moment of color, life and light celebrating joy. Above you can find a Widget to place on your desk top where you can click and read my daily blog and see my daily paintings.
