I find that there is a painting, drawing, song or whatever waiting around every corner.

My inspiration comes from simple landscapes, people milling around, animals being animals (sometimes people being animals), the way the sky looks at a certain time of day...just about anything! I always carry a small digital camera with me where ever I go and it never fails, there is always something to shoot. I use to work for a water facility in Denver CO and right on the grounds in the middle of the city foxes would set up their dens every year. I spent hours taking photos down there in the evenings. Last year there was a black kit born and I got several shots of him, it was exciting to see him among all of the red kits!

Up here the landscape is so beautiful. My mind fills with ideas as I drive to town and back. I think about how this field would look with a deer or two in it, how that cow looks like a person I know, or how that barn has so many colors and hues at dusk. Not to mention the hardwood forests in fall!

There is a painting waiting around every bend in the road...every where you look, there is something waiting to be painted, drawn, wriiten about or sung about...
