Landscape
A love of the landscape originated from my family vacations, which almost always took us camping, often in the national & state parks.
The intricacy of the play of light on mountains, trees & water always grabs and holds my attention. So many  aspects are fascinating and that is what I strive to communicate.

Still Life & Other
I have always been fond of still life paintings..  Every once in a while I find a set up that I can't resist painting.  I've also done a few that have no category as yet.

Portraiture
I really enjoy painting people but it is, again, secondary to painting animals and I don't spend a lot of time doing it. I do get a thrill from coming up with a piece that shows not just a likeness but the character.

Commissions
I seldom do commissions but if the subject, medium & especially time frame feels right I enjoy doing them. I often do colored pencil animal  portrait vignettes.
