Whether Phil is painting the beauty before him or the beauty appreciated by his loved ones, he finds never-ending inspiration in what Oregon has to offer. Phil’s oil paintings are characterized by vibrant color, seasonal and temporal light, and detailed brushwork.
His paintings depict the majestic Cascades, the rivers that flow from those mountains, the dramatic Oregon coast, his travels, and the periodic moments of rest and play at a golf course or vineyard. And they all reflect some special magical moment, whether capturing the marvel of tiny purple flowers clinging to life at elevation on a dry boulder, the power of water hitting the shore, or the special peace of a sunset.
