During the winter and early springtime of each year I come to paint in the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico and this year, Utah. The long drive across the United States from the East Coast is magical. Along the way, in this vast beautiful country there are many wondrous landscapes and I’ve often incorporated the elements from the journey into the paintings I work on in my studio in Colorado. It’s endlessly inspiring to touch into the variety of landscapes and deeply connect with the environments and colors of the East, West and Southwest.
