The Vail Project
Please
allow me to share with you a large project of which I am most proud. It
is a large series of North American animal paintings which has taken
several years to complete. This project demonstrates my ability to
paint landscapes and work in a large format. Be sure to check out the
dimensions of each of these paintings; many of them are quite large.
Working on a huge painting presented some unique challenges. With only
one exception we built each of these panels by laminating layers of
watercolor paper over Masonite panels. We then constructed rigid frames
to prevent them from bowing and warping. The panels were so large they
required me to use two easels and sometimes paint standing on a ladder
.

for the large paintings.
Title:
Deer at Water's Edge
Medium: Acrylic on Linen
Size: 66” x 66”
Price: $15,000 SOLD
This huge canvas is five and half feet tall and five at half
feet wide, since I'm only 5 foot one, it presented some unique
challenges. First of all, it needed two easels to support it, but
easels can only go so low so I needed to paint lots of it standing on a
ladder.
Title:

Size: 66” x 30”
Price: $12,000 SOLD
This painting gave me an opportunity to work on a scene that I've
dreamed of
painting for a long time.

Medium: Watercolor on Board
Size: 30” x 105”
Price: $15,000 SOLD
The Aspen grove pictured here, is one I visited the
preceding Fall, and frequently since.
Fall.
Title:
Bears by the Water
Medium: Watercolor on Board
Size: 36” x 78”
Price: 12,000 SOLD
This painting was a little smaller than the previous one,
also required the use of two easels, but I finished it by mounting it
on the wall. Dark animals present a unique challenge to every artist,
since they reflect such a small amount of light.
