After taking a series of separate photos of some engines on static display at the CO Railroad Museum, I realized there was a kind of timeline there. This is the result: my very first "quadtych". Each canvas is 12 X 16 inches. I've designed the poster... 

A Williamette geared locomotive pushing a load of logs on a temporary trestle somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. The Williamette was based on the Shay design, but was built after the patents had expired on the Shay and thus incorporated many mechani... 

I painted this piece many years ago, but thought it might be fun to add to my gallery anyway. I've always been a fan of science fiction and fantasy, and so when I was strictly an illustrator I decided to paint a fantasy subject. That's me on the frog... 

A quick painting of a Maine Central RR diesel/electric locomotive crossing the Fairfield Trestle late in the day. 

A Southern Railroad locomotive crossing the Cumberland River at Burnside, Kentucky. The Southern RR was noted for it's well-maintained engines painted green and trimmed in gold. 

This painting's based on 2 photos I took at the North Conway, NH rail museum. The 501 Consolidated engine was being rebuilt and was all in primer red paint. The snowplow nearby was in poor condition. The scene and location are completely fabricated, ... 

This is a 14 foot wide mural I painted for the martial arts studio I've trained at for the last 12 years. The painting is of a mythical setting in Korea, based loosely on a small silk 2-color painting that's about 400 years old. The inspirational lin... 

Stillwater Cove is a Sonoma County campground located on the California coast near Fort Ross. I've tried to capture the late afternoon sun flashing bright against the Redwoods, contrasting with the deep shadows of the ferns and pines. Before beginnin... 

I painted this a number of years ago. A little different than my recent work. I used a lot of Liquin medium, spreading the paint around more thinned-out than usual. 

The Cog Railway of New Hampshire is a truly unique way to reach the summit of Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast. The engines, using a design that has changed little since 1869, climb very steeply up the barren slopes thus the odd ang... 

This is the top of a large lumber mill building that was located in Auburn, CA. I was interested in the colors and textures of the various stages of rust and decay of the metal vents, and attempted to attack the surface of the canvas a little more th... 

No.12 is an engine on display at The Sacramento Train Museum in CA. It's a beautiful locomotive with gleaming copper and pinstriping. I placed it into an imaginary scene in the Sierras. 

A close up view of Engine 28, located at Jamestown, CA. The engineer can be seen on the opposite side oiling up some of the moving parts. This engine has appeared in numerous motion pictures. 

A view of the Gladding McBean factory in Lincoln, CA. This unique company has been making terracota and clay products since 1874. This piece won Best of Show at the July 2008 Placer Arts League juried exhibition. 

This is the last remaining cab forward locomotive, on static display at the Sacramento Train Museum. A huge machine, it was articulated in the middle so it could negotiate curves. The complexity of the sides of this behemoth is simply amazing. I plac...
