The Monarchs 11 feet x 6 feet Sample of possible commissioned mural The bottom portion can be created to your preference of views!!! |
The paintings in this section were created in a combination of plein air and studio work. The landscapes were created on location, since this is the only way I can truly find the colors and undulating forms that the camera can seldom capture!
The cloud portion was created in the studio, using plein air paintings that I did over the past 15 years, adapting the colors and forms to compliment the landscapes. This original studies were any where from 16x20 to 8x10...
Since all of the panels are only 2 feet wide, it makes transportation and hanging extremely easy.
This painting of the Monarch range, a part of the eastern shore of Lake Pend Oreille, just south of Sandpoint Idaho, and was photographed installed at the home of a nationally known builder,
whose work has been covered numerous times in Architectural Digest Magazine.
All of these murals and large paintings were created on location, en plein air, for the bottom portion of the mural. The upper panels often times are created in the studio, taking the images of clouds from 20 plein air paintings I have captured over the past 15 years, finding the "right one" to capture the total feeling of the
moment.
