Available for purchase directly through the artist (contact)


The Seattle area experienced some record snowfall this season...we lost power for nearly a week, but that gave us an excuse to cozy up next to the fire, at least.  

I experimented with Golden's interference colors for several of these small paintings...these colors "flip between a bright opalescent color and its complement" depending upon the angle at which they're viewed.  That effect doesn't translate to a photograph, unfortunately - but I've really been loving it!

Hunting by Starlight


Hunting by Starlight
12" x 12"
Acrylic on canvas
Available for purchase at Carnation Corners, Carnation, WA


We often hear the coyotes howling and yipping at night, and protecting our chickens from these intelligent hunters has been quite a process.

Trailing the last gleam after,
In the valleys emptied of light,
Ripples a whimsical laughter
Under the wings of the night.
-from "Coyote", Badger Clark
