I paint because I love to see color transform a blank canvas into a living piece of energy, and I like seeing vivid colors.
I've done a lot of personal study of art theory and composition and have developed some of my own theories and habits.

One of those theories is:
If you must have a painting explained to understand it, it isn't fine art.      

There’s no hidden agenda with me, my art is simply meant to bring happiness.  I don't want to change the world with my art, just make someone happy.  I know that’s not very cultured reasoning for the "artistic" world, but that's what makes me tick.

If you notice a few bricks and stonework in my paintings it's because I was a mason for 15 years, so I have a full appreciation of the mason’s artistry.

I live in a small town that's growing too fast and too big for my liking.  I like to wear cowboy boots occasionally, and it drives my wife and kids crazy.  I like to think I'm justified in wearing them because both sets of my grandparents were ranchers in Southwest Wyoming.  I like to fish with my boys and tease my girls.  My teasing days are quickly coming to an end though, because not only are my girls growing older, they're taking karate too!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy the fine art.
