Landscape
"Fall Brilliance" Aspen trees are one of my favorite subjects. My favorite fall aspen are those trees that have some orange or red leaves in addition to the yellow leaves. This painting is a group of aspen near Ridgway, Colorado, at the peak of the fall colors. This oil painting measures 12 inches by 16 inches.
"Fall Splendor in the High Country" This is a scene near Ridgway, CO. The San Juan mountains combined with the fall colors created a spectacular scene. Mountains are one of my favorite subjects. I was born and raised in the Rocky Mountain West, and the Rocky Mountains are my favorite subject to paint. This is a 14 inch by 18 inch oil painting.
"Winter's Dusting". I based this painting on a plein-air field study painted at Garden of the Gods. It was cold, but the combination of snow and deep red rocks was irresistible. It was late afternoon, and the last bit of sun was shining on the top of the rocks. This oil painting measures 18 inches by 24 inches.
"Vermillion Earth". This painting was based on a plein-air field study completed at Garden of the Gods last summer. Sometimes I like to paint quiet, less noticed parts of the landscape. The color of the soil in this dried up streambed, along with the lines created by the composition drew my interest in this location. This is a 24 inch by 30 inch oil painting.
"Tranquil Waters". This is a scene of the Bitterroot River in Montana. I love painting water. This scene was so beautiful and peaceful, with the many shades of green and reflected light on the water. In addition, this is one of the best fly fishing spots in Montana. This is a 24 inch by 36 inch oil painting.
"Badlands in Bloom" This painting was based on a plein air field study. The last rays of sun were shining on the tops of the rocks in this canyon east of Colorado Springs. I had to paint the study quickly before the sun went below the top of the canyon. The last rays of sun created brilliant colors on the rocks, and the cool north light illuminated the shadows. It measures 30 inches by 40 inches.
"Evening Light on the Main Needles" by Colorado artist Lance Mumma. The Needles mountains north of Durango, Colorado are a sight to behold. Folks driving north to Silverton, or that have been skiing at Durango Mountain Resort have surely been struck by their beauty. Measures a grand 60 inches by 43 inches and this includes the beautiful 7 inch frame that the painting is exhibited in.
