Most of my oil paintings are based upon direct observation. I always take some artistic license and end up a place I want to be. The location is an inspiration, but the painting itself is the destination.

For the last couple of years I have been combining my love of landscape with my love of animals. In each painting there is a witness to share the moment with you, the viewer. Some are more obvious than others. Just as in real life, what is right in front of us can get lost in the details. But once we see them, they are by our side forever.
