Stop by my work during November and December to view our “Miniature Masterpieces Show.” I have 8 pieces in it, including this Aspen Tree colored pencil drawing! The Frame & I is downtown Prescott at 229 W. Gurley St.

We spent the day (Saturday, Oct 29th) traveling with friends to Sedona, Oak Creek, and to the Grand Canyon. Here are a couple pics from the gorgeous sunset from Mather Point.

I thought Monday would be a great day to miss the crowds at West Fork. Was I ever wrong! I did not get there bright and early, but still, I figured at 10am, there would be a parking spot for me. My first clue was that Sedona itself was hopping with tourists with many out of state cars. I saw …

Denise and I decided to try Fossil Creek in October again. Last year was pleasant during the same time of the month to enjoy Fossil Creek. However, just the week before, we experienced winter-like weather and would not have been a good time to swim at Fossil Creek. For this trip, the weather was warm, a little hot in the …

I was browsing through some of my older drawings and came across this portrait from 2004. My High School art teacher, Mr. Murphy, told me that each art piece is a self-portrait because it is a reflection or expression of the artist (I graduated from HS in 1999).

Here are two more 5×7 oil paintings to be exhibited at the Frame & I Art Gallery for a miniature show during the months of November and December. These were both done with a palette knife. This will be a great show!!

This 12×16 inch oil painting, is of a scene engraved in my mind of the lush forests at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This was seen/experienced along the Transcept Trail and I love the play of light on the aspen trees and pine branches.

This oil painting was completed during the Best Fest, September 17th. I set up my easel to demonstrate oil painting on the sidewalk in front of the Frame & I and assembled a table of my paintings to show off. I hoped to catch the attention of the many thousands of people walking downtown for AZ’s centenniel celebration. I was …

I couldn’t get enough of the Fall colors I saw on Sunday south of Prescott. So, today, I drove to the same spot for afternoon lighting and a closer look at the scenery. It was overcast but the colors still appeared vibrant. It is worth the 15 minute drive south of Prescott to enjoy the colors of the season.
