This page features the acrylic paintings on canvas that I am showing and selling. If you are interested in purchasing an original, please send me an e-mail so we can discuss shipping and tax (since Colorado’s sales tax laws are extremely complicated). You will also find paintings that are part of my private collection or aesthetically inclined friends’ collections under “Artist’s pick”.
If you want to purchase a print instead of an original, visit my artist’s page at saatchi art.
The prices here are for direct sales from the site. If the piece is being displayed at a gallery or show, I will indicate this.
Heading West!
There’s no place like “Home”
“Home” – 23.5″x36″ – $1500
I thought a lot about what to call this painting. It was originally a scene from Heart of Darkness, but somehow the shadows morphed into foothills and the rabbit brush in my current backyard. The foothills, however, are from my 2021 backyard on Ringvassøya, which will always be home because it taught me what I need to thrive. It is my ideal of where I need to be, so I simply called it “Home”.
Stars of El Paso County
“Let it Be” – 36″x48″ – $2750
“Pikes Peak” – 36″x48″ – $2750
Although they depict different moods and types of landscapes and can be purchased separately, these two paintings go together. If you are looking at Pikes Peak and turn around about 120 degrees, you see a prairie landscape similar to the one I made up in “Let it Be”.
“Pikes Peak” has been featured in the exhibit “Colorful Symphony”.
Red Rocks
“Red Rocks”- 23.5″x36″ – $1500
I used the possibilities offered by acrylic to elaborate upon the pastel drawing of Red Rocks that has been on display at Boettcher Hall. The sky went through many variations of cloud cover and sky color before I discovered that using unbleached titanium would give them the right tinge.
Arctic stars
The arctic stars depict my favorite landscapes in arctic Norway. More will come after I am done creating my Western portfolio.
“Arctic Derivative” – 19.5″x24″ – $600
“Arctic Derivative” is a colder version of “Arctic Brahms”, which is in my private collection. I call it a derivative because, as in calculus, the result of my efforts was based on an original input and bears relation to it without being an equivalent. (Nerd alert: the original input was not x^y where x=y.)
Hommages to our prairie
“It’s not just grass!” is my motto, and I celebrate the diversity of colors and textures in our flatter Colorado landscapes.
These paintings are 12″x16″ and are available through Wilderness Art Quarry in Loveland, Colorado.
The painting below depicts the second movement of the Moonlight Sonata, as I explain on the page Beethoven and Brushes.
