Lazy River is painting #54. This one came about as sort of an accident. I had started doing a totally different painting with a black canvas. That didn’t work out so I had to ditch it. The only problem is that I had already put out the paint. Couldn’t waste it so I grabbed a …
Silver Linings is painting #52. There is something special about this one. A major life altering event occurred between my last painting, Peaceful Waters and this one.

Mt. Ranier is painting #49. It is another original and the 6th painting in a row that wasn’t a Bob Ross replica. The inspiration for this painting was a photo someone posted on Reddit as a challenge to fellow Bob Ross style painters. I accepted the challenge and this is the result. I painted the …
Kodiak Spring is painting #48 and is actually a commission. An old coworker I used to work with in Germany contacted me on Instagram and asked me to paint a picture of Mt. Barometer in Alaska.
