Limited Edition continues the meditation I have begun on trees and how to represent them using a variety of brushwork. These new paintings differ from my more traditional landscapes in the respect that they may rely solely on the tree itself for the composition and design. Though there is a sense of a ground plain present, it is not blatantly represented. The title refers to the unique and temporary nature of a tree's character in those few days of late autumn when the coloring is electric and the fall is imminent.

Evening at Beggar's Bend is a new painting that has just been accepted into the show Visions of the Flint Hills in Kansas City Missouri, a show and benefit for the preservation of our native tall grass prairie. I will have four pieces total in the show, each depicting a scene from the Flint Hills of central Kansas. I will provide more information concerning the show in a later post.

Immersion is an experiment in brushwork. I wanted to capture the way light dances through foliage and this scene seemed to speak to that directly. 30 x 24 Framed in a contemporary black floater frame, this piece straddles the line between representational landscape painting and abstraction.
