Columbia River

I've been spending many weekends in Central Washington this month.  The place is almost otherworldly and these paintings were inspired by that.  I tried to illustrate the barren features and ghostly rise of nearby coulees and how they differ to the vibrant lush of Western Washington.

Give Up?

My short attention span. What the eff? Life is too fast.

The best way to give up is to slow down. 

Desert Art

I've been spending my weekends strolling across the vast landscapes of Yakima Valley. Most recently visited the Crab Creek Wildlife Area which inspired this piece to a large degree. 

Hiking, Full Moon

I hiked the Umtanum Creek Canyon with Tess, my Border Collie, yesterday. It was such a nice trip and would consider going back to camp overnight.
