Night Moves

Original Oil, 24x36. This past spring I visited the National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum. I was so inspired by the paintings of American who came before me, in particular, Frederic Remington. I knew I wanted to try a moon light painting and Zebras would be the perfect subject. I don't have any reference for Zebras under moonlight. My photography skills have not reached that level! I only have memories and, of course, the actual moon. It was interesting to see what moonlight really does to color and trying to portray it in an artistic experiment. It was a great challenge and I hope to do more.

High Rise



50x26 oil on linen. This is one of my centerpieces for Safari Club in Las Vegas. The perspective was one of my biggest challenges in this painting. I wanted the feeling of hight and distance.

"Eye on the Prize"


I need to add the measurements later. This is my first large African piece completed this summer. This was a very handsome couple and were being watched very closely by a pair of Black Backed Jackals.

"Approaching Eden"


36x36 oil on linen. Herd of buffalo in the Serengeti. It's so much fun painting wildlife from a different perspective, literally!
