Song of the Mountains
Acrylic on Canvas

Price: $85
INQUIRE ABOUT THIS PIECE
Inspired by: John Denver’s song, "Cowboy’s Delight"
Sing songs of the sunrise into the night
The stars as your timepiece make it alright.
Make friends with the darkness, talk to the moon
And when the light lifts, you can let out a tune.
I've been to the mountains, climbed through the sky
Shouldered their whiteness, watched their gold fly.
Shared in their treasures, shook at their might.
Spoke softly of wonders, cowboy’s delight.
Nature’s Hardest Hue
Acrylic on Canvas

Price: $55
INQUIRE ABOUT THIS PIECE
Inspired by: Robert Frost’s poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay"
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn becomes the day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Wrinkled Wisdom

Price: $300
INQUIRE ABOUT THIS PIECE
This piece was created while living in Flagstaff, Arizona near the Navajo reservations. A Navajo friend of mine was playing an original song on his flute; a haunting tune as ageless as the mountains themselves. My painting represents the deep respect the Native Americans have for their land and the knowledge they pass on to younger generations through their ancient stories. I hope the next time you have a chance to sit down with one of your elders, you will see past the wrinkles and listen to the wisdom beneath.

INQUIRE ABOUT THIS PIECE
This painting was inspired from a photograph of myself with one of my cousins. I cannot recall what I whispered in her ear, but I am sure it was imaginative and fantastical. I hope this piece evokes fond memories of your own childhood and inspires you to rediscover the creativity you had in your youth.

INQUIRE ABOUT THIS PIECE
I have learned quite a few things from my canine companions throughout the years. One of the most inspiring to me is their unquenchable thirst for adventure. Watching them enjoy their surroundings, no matter how seemingly barren and unforgiving, motivates me to look for the positive in any situation. This piece captures the bliss of being a dog in a frozen tundra of endless possibilities and reminds us to live joyfully as well.
