"Dunn's Rock Afternoon"

"Dunn's Rock Afternoon"  11 x 14 oil on panel  SOLD

Autumn always seems to go by far too quickly, here's a recent painting from one of my favorite locations west of Asheville.  This prominent rock outcropping has always fascinated me, and catching it with the afternoon sun of early November was just too irresistible not to try and capture.

Fine Art Prints

Newly expanded exhibition space!

For the past two years, I have been offering Fine Art Prints of my original works. These prints are completely done in my studio, from the high resolution digital captures, to editing and all phases of the printing process. I only use the finest and most archival inks and substrates available. Each print is then signed by me, and receives a final UV protective coating.

I have just recently expanded my exhibition space in downtown Asheville, North Carolina at The Woolworth Walk. Located at 25 Haywood Street, Woolworth Walk is a very popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Look for my work there in Space 6, and I hope to soon have a link for online shopping as well.

"The Problem Solvers" oil on panel 16" x 20"

This group of workers, seemingly perplexed by what's in the hole, really caught my eye. The arrangement of lights and darks and those vivid colors made for an interesting arrangement. It's also featured in my profile in the January 11th edition of the Asheville Citizen-Times newspaper. To read the full article, click on the link below! Happy New Year to all, and thanks for following my blog!

"River Bank Morning"

"River Bank Morning" oil on panel 20" x 24"

This painting was done on the banks of the river that borders the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. It was a glorious morning, and what intrigued me was the effect of the warm morning light surrounded by the coolness of the early day. This painting is also featured at The Crescent Gallery in Spartanburg, SC.
