A Cool Drink of Water 24X18 Oil on Board $1350

There is nothing that tastes so good as a cold drink after working up a sweat on a hot day.  We often left the can propped in a small stream to keep it cold.  I did this from a photo taken on the Jensen farm in Cache County Utah.  I loved working with the broken play of light coming through the tree leaves. I try to capture the feeling of dry heat, with a hint of dust in the air and the smell of the water in the stream. Hope you enjoy the memories.

Yankee Fork 8X10 inches Oil on Panel

Among the headwaters of the Salmon River in Idaho is one called the Yankee Fork.  A giant gold mining dredge lies rusting amid the mounds of rubble it spewed out in its glory days, but before reaching the dredge beautiful meadows with small streams running through them provide a quiet reminder to its primitive beauty.
