Plein Air Oil Study • 9" × 12" 
Madeline Island Town Park • August 2025

Painted at Town Park on Madeline Island, this study captures the winding waterway as it drifts quietly through the marshland. 

 

The muted light softened the distant horizon while subtle greens and ochres shaped the shoreline. I was drawn to the gentle rhythm of the curves, where water and land weave together in a calm, timeless flow.

Stormlight Over the Badlands

Plein Air Oil Study • 9" × 16"  • May 2025

On my way to the Plein Air Convention, I stopped at Badlands National Park, drawn to its dramatic landscape. As I set up to paint, the wind rose and a sudden storm swept through, forcing me to find shelter. When the clouds finally broke and the sun returned, the Badlands ignited in glowing color — a fleeting brilliance that transformed the storm’s aftermath into pure inspiration.

Molton Barn

Plein Air Oil Study • 9" × 12"  • May 2025

This painting depicts the historic T.A. Moulton Barn, part of the homestead settlement known as Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park. Built in the early 1900s, the barn has weathered more than a century of harsh Wyoming winters, standing as a symbol of resilience and determination. With the jagged Teton Range rising behind it, the structure embodies both the strength of human endeavor and the enduring beauty of the American West.
