Ever since a trip visiting part of the Yukon I have been working on a series of paintings based on all the photos I took. It was a whirlwind trip but it left indelible memories.

I started with some literal paintings and then progressed to abstraction and the discovery is continuting..I have a goal to do 12 paintings. Here are a few….
