"Ice Circles" Winter aerial over Canyon Ferry

It was a gorgeous winter weekend Saturday outside of Townsend at Canyon Ferry Lake, and while watching a myriad of people enjoying their sunny day on the ice, the forms began to take shape in the distance. Ice fishermen drove trucks and four wheelers to their lucky spot hoping for fresh dinner, and more material for lies at the local tavern. A group of ice sailboats floated with quiet speed and razor sharp accuracy, an ultralight flew at a low elevation surveying the tiny world below putting his personal view of life, and the moment in perspective. And lastly, a group of dirt bikers with ice studded tires raced in random circles and patterns over and over again making forms that would soon return back.....back to ice. Back to ice and water, and never to be seen again….

Embracing the Beauty of a Cold, Snowy Winter: Skiing, Studio and Family Time
February 27, 2025
As winter takes a short respite with warm springlike temps and sunny days, it’s hard not to marvel at the incredible winter we had in Montana this year! Seems like it has been too long since we had a real one. This season has been nothing short of magical, crisp air and clean cold snow have painted the world in dull yet bright hues of white and silver, transforming everyday scenes into a brisk winter wonderland.
Took most of January to finish up Christmas orders, with lots of studio and family time. Work in the studio and on other construction projects (more info to come) were mixed in with a decent amount of skiing, and it has been just what the doctor ordered. More new work to be posted to the site this spring, and more new projects in the works. Thanks for all the support!

A gift from the past...New print release!
Was just going through some of my older files to get a large print made for a client of "Fairy Lake" from 2006. While digging through the files, I found a little Christmas present to myself....a hidden folder of some images I had completely forgot about! It included this panorama of one of my favorite places in the Northern Bridgers, the "Flathead Pass Ranger Station".
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!!
