Cape Hatteras. 11x14 original pastel painting.
This is a commission that was sold to a private collector. It has a very different message than the more abstract one I posted earlier. This is a message of peace, and of safe harbor. #art #painting #hattaras #pastel #ocean #lighthouse

Seljalandsfoss. 9x12 original pastel painting.
Martha and I visited Seljalandsfoss waterfall in Iceland this past September. These falls are of a mind-blowing scale. They fall 197 ft, similar to a 15 story office building, roaring as it desends.

This view looks west towards the Atlantic from the high rampart of this famous French Abbey. This is low tide. The bay is a UNESCO world heritage site, on the border between Brittany and Normandy.

“Last Year’s Snow On the Divide” 9x12 original pastel painting.
From an August 2025 hike up nearly to the top of the west side of the continental divide. I’d expect fresh snow here fairly soon. Straight Creek, Summit County, Colorado.
