PROUD OF MY GRANDPAS

I just love my grandpas they are both such great men. They have and have had so much influence in my life especially my creativeness.

This painting was done in 1977 as a gift to my mom and dad for christmas. They were coming down a canyon after their honeymoon and snapped a photo and asked if he could paint it for them. I love the contrasts in the painting. We always laughed at some of his paintings but truth be told they are all very good I have a great respect for his talent. I’m so grateful to know him he’s a great man.

Save me a spot next to your easel grandpa.

The bust of the Savior

My grandpa good bad is an amazing sculptor, among other things. My dad told me how he would be missing pieces to his model cars and my grand dad would just carve him a new piece. How impressive! Grandpa you work is wonderful, and beautiful

KARI'S TREE

One of the things I love doing is taking pictures. I took a picture of an elm tree very similar to this and Kari absolutely loves it. My inspiration for this particular painting came from her love of the photo. I painted this for her if you looked carefully there is a message in the branches of the tree.

“MEANINGLESS LIFE”

I’ve decided to share some insights into my art. So, for my first post I thought I would share this painting I did 2007 it’s called”Meaningless Life”. To me it’s a representation of how mundane my life seems at times. I feel as if we go through the motions in life we wake up, go to work, eat, sleep, rinse, than repeat the process. The robot is me; running from all my problems and trying to leave them in the dust even though I know they are going to catch me in the end.
