I recently completed this shot, and another, for a calendar titled “Glacial Lake Missoula – Sanders County by Air”, with aerial photos by Dave Bennett. This image was painted to show what Glacial Lake Missoula might have looked liked, and the massive 2000 ft ice dam that held back the waters.

I happened to be at this particular mountain lake 4 years ago. There was still a thick layer of ice on the water August 2nd! Amazing.

I’m pleased to announce that this painting of mine has been included at the upcoming “Icons of the West” show taking place at the Dana Gallery in Missoula, Montana this summer. If you are interested in this work, or would like more info, please contact the gallery.
I was inspired to paint a big old gnarly tree. I liked the idea of these cenaur type warriors making their way through this fantastical forest.
Here is a new digital painting I just completed. I’ve been inspired a great deal lately by the works of Frederic Remington and Frank Tenney Johnson…..as well as centaurs for some reason.
Just returned from a horseback trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The great part was that I was able to attach my painting gear onto the back of some unsuspecting mule. Another bonus was that I got to eat much better than I do on most of my backpacking trips. Here are my paintings from the trip, as well as a few photos.
I found a spot on the rocks below the dam this evening, and worked up this little watercolor/gouache sketch.
A quick gouache sketch at the mouth of Prospect Creek as I try to beat the summer heat.
I love painting in the mornings after a good thunderstorm in the night, and the hole valley is covered in blankets of rising mist.
