I write as much as I paint, perhaps more. I think I should share some of those insights as this is a journal of artistic progress.
Every painting is an experiment. The current goal is to reflect not only the visual model but the internal thoughts to try to attain spiritual content.

The first painting in this series was done en plein air, Washington Pass, Mazama, WA., as were the next two. The last painting was done in the studio, a result of plein air studies and thoughts developed over time. Plein air painting puts one in the moment. The information gathered achieves a visual vocabulary that can be expanded on in the studio. Both practices enhance my development as an artist and as a person. Hopefully the effort will have value to others as well.

Truly the breathtaking beauty of confronting a majestic mountain is brought to the viewer here. Are these your two best paintings ever? They are magnificent.
Hopefully not my best but I like them too. Especially the experience of standing their in the snow waiting for the storm clouds to race by the peaks. Cold and windy but what makes plein air painting worth the magic.
Thanks!
