Artist's Inspiration: I love hiking in Colorado and looking for inspiration for my native bonsai trees. I am particularly fond of old trees that have survived in spite of the elements of wind, snow hot and cold and growing pretty much in solid rock. This painting of an old bristlecone pine, was inspired on top of a ridge overlooking 11 mile reservoir in Colorado. I have a few small bristlecones in my bonsai collection.

Artists Statement
When asked ‘What is your favorite painting’, I always say, ‘the next one I am going to paint!”

Favorite question and life philosophy is WHAT IF?  I will fearlessly follow even a thread of curiosity when combining mediums or styles. Let process take me on any tangent.. What's the worst thing that could happen? Even what seems to be any ugly painting or a failure will lead to other things that are not. I feel that unless I am prepared to fail, I can not improve and grow.

"I just wanted to thank you for your lovely paintings.   They arrived yesterday and I just opened them this morning.  They are even more beautiful than I imagined.  Also, the packaging was superb.  They are exactly what I wanted. "
Sincerely, Phyllis Plekavic

Why Buy Original art? Some people may ask, "why buy original art when you can buy a nice print". Several reasons, simply put, the original is just far more beautiful. Its also one of a kind. This beauty does not translate as well in the digital world. Another reason is that the original captures the soul of the artist, what the artist is feeling when they are creating the piece can tangibly be felt in an original artwork. Of course the original is far more valuable and usually increases in value. You should buy original art because you love it! It will enrich your life.
