Wild Apple Tree

2012-01-04T17:57:00.000-08:00

This apple tree is a remnant from an old orchard on the Jorgensen Ranch here in Glenwood,WA. Though technically not "wild"- it's become that way from years of neglect. This "neglect" has allowed it to achieve a wonderful and graceful gesture.

Autumn Landscape

2008-09-02T17:41:00.000-07:00

As the summer ends we start to see the high cumulus clouds streaming across the western skies. The warm color of the turning autumn leaves reflects into them.

Glenwood is primarily a ranching community with no shortage of rural pastures and grazing cattle. This scene was painted about a mile from my house. This painting is 32"x40".
