Painting from my Imagination

Spirit of a Landscape

16x20, oil on canvas

Imaginary Landscape

6x8, oil on canvas

With these two I'm trying to paint more freely and confidently as an expression of my soul.

 I want to capture the spirit of an idea, concept or subject.

In July of 2013 I went on an amazing painting vacation to Yosemite National Park 
with my family. I'm so grateful they let me go off on my own to paint. 
It was so incredibleand inspirational to be there hiking and driving around 
taking pictures and scouting great views to paint. 
These paintings were all done on location, in "plein air."
