Here is a recent book cover I finished for “Shark Eater: Decker and Callie Adventure” by K.D. McNiven. This is the second cover in the series I have had a chance to work on.

GLACIAL LAKE MISSOULA
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.

Big Old Gnarly Tree
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.
Centaurs – Night Patrol
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.
Bob Marshall Wilderness
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.
Rumble Tumble Rock and Roll
I found a spot on the rocks below the dam this evening, and worked up this little watercolor/gouache sketch.
Roll and Rumble
A quick gouache sketch at the mouth of Prospect Creek as I try to beat the summer heat.
