 SOLD Bending Tree Pose

Metal sculpture

6'6"x2'1"x1'4"

This is my first human figure in metal. A few years ago, I started 
practicing yoga. It does my body good. I did not know my body needs to move in so many ways. My teacher is Roxanne Best, a former student of mine who also is an amazing photographer and paddle board instructor.

'Possum Fun

Mild steel and found pipe

4'x4'x3' including the metal branch

The only live opossum I have ever scene was in Parque Nacional
Ybycui, Paraguay and it was not the same kind. I suppose live opossums must exist and they must enjoy hanging around in trees.

Confluence Gallery until August 29, 2020 after that it will be at the
​Dan Brown Sculpture Garden and Studio.

Gift From The Heavens

Mild steel, plywood, and spray paint

4'x2'x4"

This is a Nighthawk feather. Nighthawks are one of my signs that summer has arrived. One of my sights favorite sites is to watch them feeding low and all around.

Water is King

Mild Steel, washers, and found tank

​3'6"x


This work is inspired by two separate events worlds apart.
There is a lake near where we live that has an informational sign that explains that the lake is a storage lake for irrigation water for the many apple and cherry orchards. The title of the sign is "Water is King". The other event was on a month long car camping trip in Australia. At one campground, there was an Australian magpie quenching its thirst at a large tank that was slowly dripping water.

Stellar's Jay Feather

Mild Steel and spray paint

3'x12"

Stellar's Jays usually live at higher elevation than we live, so it is a real treat when they visit our yard. You have to love a bird with such a crest and bold personality.

Toco Toucan

Mild steel and found cultivator

Toucan: 1'x1'6"x6"
Cultivator base: 3'x3'x1'
Optional wall bracket to mount to the side of a building or tree.

During our Peace Corps training we would often hang out ina bar called "La Chileana's". La Chileana always had popcorn to eat with our cold Pilsners. She also made the best vegetarian empandas del horno I have every eaten. On the shelves with her hard alcohol she had the skin of a Toco Toucan I was always fascinated with. Later on when worked and lived in Parque Nacional Ybycui we had touconettes visit us, but never saw a live Toco Youcan.

Dancing Home

Mild steel and found ring

6'6"x4'x4'

I love fish and fishing. We only enter their world occasionally when snorkeling, so they are mysterious. The lives of anadromous fish are amazing. I am lucky to have sockeye, chinook, and steelhead pass through our town, even though I rarely see them.

Vertebrae     SOLD

Mild steel

3'x1'x6" on a 3' base

I made this fish vertebrae after finding one on an Oregon beach. I find it a very pleasant form and like it without it having to be something. I like it even more as I find bones interesting. It is hard to find one and not bring it home.

1'x1'2"x8" on a 3' base

My wife likes to as questions like, if you could be any animal what would you be? My answer is a large bird. Flight would be amazing.

"Hawking" Chinooks At Pike Street Market

Mild Steel and Antique Grocery Scale

5'x6'x2'6"

I apologize for this photograph. I am working on a stand to position my art above the skyline so backgrounds don't interfere. Also, this is not the complete sculpture, as a chinook salmon and the scale is missing. I can mount the eagle without the scale and salmon also. A close up of this eagle is the header for this page.

Ponderosa By Cougar Rock

Door from our 70 year old kitchen cabinets that we recently replaced and sealed printmaking ink

2'8"x5"x0.5"

We skate ski most of the time at the South Summit of the Loup snowpark on Loup Loup Pass.
The trails are numbered, but we have names for most of them based on events that have happened on them or the animals that live there. Some of our trails are: Moon Loop, Grouse Tracks, Huckleberry Dip, and Moose Tracks. Often we see tracks of cougar, wolf, coyote, and bobcat when we ski. There is a large rock on upper K9 wwe think is a perfect for a cougar to bask in the winter sun and watch over the landscape. This ponderosa grows near this rock. This work is the relief carving that I used to make prints from.

Madonna of the Fisherman

Acrylic. Center panel of a triptych.

1'4"x2'4"x4" This includes all three panels in a metal filagree frame.

I found a frame in a thrift store that was housed in a building along the Okanogan River.The building was half flour mill and half storage depot for groceries when steamboats still "sailed" up the river. The model was a former student, Isabel. I kept the frame for 5 years before I painted the triptych. I would make sketches periodically and they just were not fitting for this unusual frame. When I came up with this idea, they painted flowed and I finished it in a few short sittings. The other two panels continue the landscape behind the Madonna. The reference for the landscape came from a British Columbia vacation trip.

Eye Spy (With My Little Eye)

Found objects

3' diameter sphere on a car rim base

If you have a young child in your life, I hope you too have spent hours finding Waldo and all the objects in an Eye Spy book. For this sphere I went "shopping" in my boneyard. A few of the items are: bridle bit, muffin tin, old roadway flare, a shock off my pickup.

Octopuses Garden

1950's truck hood

4'x4'x1'

My first vehicle was a 1950 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup that I bought in 1974. I loved that truck. I liked the lines, the starter on the floor, the vents you would open to let in fresh air, the eight track I installed under the bench seat, and the gearshift knob I cast from an imprint of my hand in Mr. Lindahl's metal shop class. I was going to cover this hood with images inspired by Beatles' songs. However, the octopus was too perfect to clutter up with other images. It is always fun to work on art based on songs, as you sing them in your head throughout the project....in an octopuses garden......

Chicken Scratches

Mild Steel, rebar, and solar light

3'6"x1'4"x1'4"

I love using solar lights in my work. They create some very cool cast images on the ground when they light up at night. I have had chickens most of my life. Usually brown egg layers. They are fun to have around.
