Hello, this website is under construction. Thank you for visiting, more paintings will be posted soon!

I am a Grand Canyon river guide, and love working outside. I like to do small paintings that I can later use to paint larger works in my studio at home. I feel that my impressions of landscapes tell a story of how I view the world and how I use color. For me coloring is always a joyful endeavor.

I also like to paint on request memorable places that you have experienced. I will use photographs when I do this. But, if I know the place I try to paint from my memory or a small sketch.

This year 2013 I am guiding a special watercolor/journaling/yoga trip in the canyon of Lodore on the Green River, September 8-12 a special 5 day trip that slows us down to paint and relax in a canyon that is uniquely beautiful. If interested please contact: O.A.R.S O.A.R.S then click on white water rafting, click on Utah, then Green River Gates of Lodore, scroll down to special trips, or you can contact by email: John

I hope you enjoy visiting my website, please contact me if you have any questions.Ote
