GOING TO THE SUN ROAD
Plein Air Oil, 2025
Glacier National Park Montana
This image was taken moment before a gust of wind swept my painting, easel and all, over the cliff. A failed attempt to out paint the storm. One should never underestimate Mother Nature.

To paint En Plein Air is to create “Real Life.” It is not just capturing a scene, it is to be part of a moment, in a way that cannot be replicated painting a picture of a picture from the comfort of a studio. Plein Air painting is magic in that way and has blessed me with adventures across the globe in it's pursuit.

Every painting, just like the artist, is forever a Work In Progress never finished and always connected to the moment. The hardest part about creating art is to let it go.
