Landscapes

I enjoyed creating this little painting of the quintessential Halloween scene. The jack-o-lanterns are glowing and so is the light in the old haunted house; lots going on in this painting. But this is a happy place, even the...

"I always am struck with the beauty of Mt. Timpanogos in Utah Valley, and cannot count the times I have looked up at it and said to myself, "someday, I am going to paint this!" One morning, I was driving along the old...

"Fall is a cozy time of year when we dress a little warmer and spend a lot of time with family. I like to take walks in the country when the air is crisp and marvel at all the rich colors that surround me. The air has a...

"I like the simple country Christmases like mom and dad used to do. A few multicolored lights and a lot of Christmas cheer will do it for me. But, then add some merry Christmas carolers and it always warms my heart and soul...

"This painting is the last in a series I did of the same house in the four seasons. Its summer time and Grandma is celebrating the 4th of July. She has her banners and flags waving in the warm breeze. She even has ice cream...

"This painting is unique in that it is the only picture I ever completed while continuously singing Christmas carols. "Gentle Memory - Christmas" is part of a series of paintings of the same scene, at different times of the...

"Easter morning inspires thoughts of little girls in ruffled dresses gathering Easter eggs in the garden. It's springtime, and the blossoms color the scene with a hundred hues and fragrances. This painting is in my series of...

"I love the Fall, the changing colors and cooler weather warms me inside. My children look forward to the Eve of Halloween, when Dad will carve silly faces on all the pumpkins they have collected. Then, I get to follow them...

"What is a summer holiday without a fresh slice of cool watermelon? A couple of children playing in the yard with the stars and stripes proudly hung from the porch. As I was returning from the 4th of July Parade last summer...

"Ever since I laid eyes on this old house I wanted to paint it. The deep reds contrasted against the whites of the hollyhocks and other things are charming to me. There is a white hen comfortably bedded down in the grass...

This scene reminds me of places I have seen near where I live in Utah, although it also reminds me of other places throughout the country. My children love the first snow of winter, making snowmen, snow fights and all the...

I have always loved images of old Europe. They remind me of the old French Barbizon paintings that I am so attracted to. This painting is very peaceful to me. I also think there is a lot of beauty in subdued color. The...

When the first white men entered what we now call Zions Canyon, they must have marveled at the majestic mountain cliffs. The Native American considered Zion to be sacred and surely the early white settlers felt a similar...

"One of my favorite places to paint is Zion National Park located in Southern Utah. The multi-layered sandstone cliffs and desert terrain create endless opportunities for this artist to interpret nature and all her beauty...

"The Court of the Patriarchs in Zion National Park consists of three towers of Navajo Sandstone called Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. These sheer cliffs on the west side of Zion Canyon illustrate the Navajo Sandstones...

As you drive through Springdale, Utah, approaching Zion National Park, you see the majestic cliffs of Mount Kiwasava up to the left. The Virgin River winds its way along the desert floor as it has for thousands of years. I...

Zion s features are particularly magical at sunset. Erosion has created myriad shapes and patterns in the Navajo Sandstone, and vegetation seems to pop out of the landscape in the most unexpected places. There are 14...
