I was recently driving down the 101 south along the Oregon Coast. We were taking my daughter to see the Seal caves, and of course I had to snap some shots along the way. These are some that caught my eye.
“The 101” along the Oregon Coast
The Bay and Pacific in Newport, Oregon
I live to be near water. During our recent visit to the Oregon Coast I snapped a few landscapes that caught my eye. One of these also includes a glimpse at my photographic muse the past 10 years.

We recently drove from Eugene, Oregon to Newport for a couple nights on the beach. A couple of times we went in town to eat some awesome Clam Chowder and these places caught my eye. The gallery behind the VW is up for lease or sale. Anyone want to go in the art business together... Continue Reading →

On our recent visit to Oregon, we took our daughter to the Three Sisters mountains. These are some of the images that caught my attention on our way to the mountains.

This was a series of paintings I intentionally put together around a similar theme. They were finished in June of 2021.

I looked to the color wheel for inspiration. This was my fourth and final painting for the month of June 2021.
One of my earliest canvases. #abstractartwork #abstractpainting
I started paining in earnest about 15 years ago. Originally started on poster boards around 28x22 in size. My earliest canvases were not gallery size. I didn’t know the differences then. This is one from an initial set of canvases that I received as a Xmas gift from my mother-in-law. She has always been a... Continue Reading →
Painting #2 of 2020
This is the second canvas I have completed in 2020. It’s a much smaller canvas compared to the first painting of the year but I think it is quite photogenic and so I wanted to immediately share. I wasn’t certain if the painting was done. It came to me really fast. I completed it in... Continue Reading →
This is a canvas I completed this week. Really excited about it. The issue is where to hang it. It's a rather large piece. It involves a combination of acrylics mixed with joint compound the kind that you put on walls. It is topped off with multiple layers of a polyurethane gloss coating to give... Continue Reading →
Abstract Art: Untitled #1 of series, Acrylic on Canvas, 40×16”(2018) #Abstractpainting
This painting was the start of a three part series of paintings. The common denominator is the use of a lower third dividing line consisting of random clusters of hard lines. Each paintings dividers is marked by three colors. This was purposeful as three is a number I regularly gravitate toward. There is a symbolism... Continue Reading →
Abstract Art: Untitled, Acrylic on Canvas, 36”x24” (2018) #Abstract #AbstractArtist
My wife doesn’t care for this much, but I love it. She doesn’t care for the randomness of the fine lines. She thinks they look amateurish. I was influenced here by the work of Diebenkorn. I purposely went after that kind of application of color. I am not trying to make the focus on any... Continue Reading →
Abstract Art: Untitled, Acrylic on Canvas, 36”x36” (2018) #AbstractArt
I finished this piece this week. I forced myself to stay away from blues as much as possible. I have been in a Blue funk with the last few canvases. Actually, I enjoy blues which are harmonious, but I wanted to avoid them as much as possible this go around. I think if you look... Continue Reading →
Abstract Art: Two in a Series, “24×30”Acrylic on Canvas (2018)
I recently completed these two paintings. They came to me rather quickly so I’m not quite sure how I feel about them. I hate when paintings come to me quickly because it leaves me uncertain about their completion. I completed the brighter of the two first and for whatever reason when I started the...
