This is the second painting in my smaller painting series. This was the view out my window, when I lived in Macon. I loved seeing all of the Antebellum Mansions. One thing I find interesting is the color contrast on the Italianate home. The owners were redoing the roof, and I enjoy the cool color of [...]

I love early mornings. They are like my own private time. The world is clear and beautiful, and all of the hubbub of the day has not started yet. In early morning light, everything looks better, fresh with the optimism that this day can be anything that it wants to be. This house is a [...]

Valentines Weekend, 2010, Lynley and I got up to a beautiful snowfall. It was just a few inches, but it blanketed the world with a clean new whiteness. We had decided to take a trip for the weekend, and the Raleigh North Carolina Temple was the perfect first start. We believe that a marriage [...]

Lynchburg, VA was my first home with my wife. We lived there for a few years, and really enjoyed it. The city is very historic, on the bank of the James River, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. One of my favorite views of the city is driving in from the north. As [...]

I was a missionary in the Philippines in the mid 1990s. One of the things that I loved there was the rice cultivation. Rice paddies were beautiful in every stage. First, the paddy would be flooded, which made it look like a lake. Next rice seedlings would be planted by hand, looking like a large [...]
