Pepper Sky

8x12 Oil

This was an experiment with far looser painting than I had been used to. I'm drawn to skies in all their multitudinous glory, always different, always beautiful, even in stormy weather .. and always a challenge to paint.

My reference for “Pepper Sky” was an early Oregon evening, driving from Salem back home to Lake Oswego, just outside of Portland. The radiant dusky sky was so amazingly arranged that I had to stop to take a few photos … and, as usual, ended up taking many!

There will be more sky paintings, hopefully each one better than its predecessor. That's the idea, anyway. Learn by observing. Learn by beginning (the hardest part). Learn by doing. Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. That’s my life.

Passionate about nature, life, and sharing, this site reflects my three favorite companions through life: Photography, Writing, and Speaking. Photography made me an observer. Writing opened deeper conversations around authenticity, ethics, and leadership. Speaking... well, that's where I get selfish, because sharing always gives back. Helping you find your own passion, authenticity, and leadership lights me up … giving definition to the givers gain philosophy.
