"All of my paintings have stories!  Since most are painted on site "En Plein Air" it is my belief that knowing details of the paintings such as location and circumstance adds to the pleasure of owning the paintings."

"Shadow Mountain Lake"

This painting was inspired by a field study depicting the area around "Estes Park (Rocky Mountain National Park), Colorado."  To me, this is one of the most beautiful areas in "Colorado".  This early morning scene is very dramatic with the light on the mountains and the reflections in the water.
