FOR NEARLY FORTY YEARS WATERCOLORS HAVE BROUGHT JOY TO ME, AS IS EVIDENT FROM THE SELECTIONS IN THIS GALLERY. MY ART EXPLORES AND CELEBRATES THE POWER OF PLACE--THE CHINOOK-BLASTED GRASSLANDS AND STORM-SWEPT FRONT RANGE, THE HARD-SHADOWED BUTTES AND TOWERING SKYSCAPES--THAT MARK THE SEASONAL RHYTHMS OF CENTRAL MONTANA. MY PAINTINGS ALSO HONOR THE BEAUTY OF THE COMMONPLACE--CHAINSAWS AND WORK BOOTS, MACHINERY AND SHOP TOOLS. PAINTING TIME IS OFTEN SCARCE AND SCATTERED; DRAWING FILLS THOSE FRAGMENTED MOMENTS. CURRENTLY, I AM WORKING ON A PENCIL SERIES THAT COULD LAST A LIFETIME. EACH PRAIRIE ISLAND HOME DRAWING FEATURES SQUARE BUTTE AS A BACKDROP FOR THE COMPLEXITY WITHIN OUR HOMESTEAD-ERA SHELTER BELT. THE FIRST THREE DRAWINGS IN THE SERIES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS GALLERY.
