Morning Alcoves at Union Station was painted from direct observation on a clear summer morning in Ogden, Utah. As the sun climbed in the east, it struck the brick and stone with hard, unforgiving light, carving deep shadows into the station’s recesses and window reveals. I was drawn to the tension between illumination and concealment—what the light insists on showing and what the architecture quietly withholds. The partial glimpse of the station’s name felt fitting: a landmark both familiar and momentary, caught in a single, passing hour.
Saigon Central Post Office – Built at the turn of the 20th century, the Saigon Central Post Office stands as a quiet witness to movement, memory, and exchange. Designed during the French colonial period, its grand arches and sunlit skylights reflect European order layered onto a distinctly Vietnamese rhythm of life. Peach-toned walls and deep green ironwork frame a steady flow of figures—waiting, passing through, pausing briefly on wooden benches. In this loose watercolor, the architecture holds the space, while human motion brings it alive: a place where messages, moments, and histories have intersected for more than a century.
Morning at the Courtyard (Eccles Courtyard 1) – The first rays of morning spill across the Eccles courtyard, catching the fountain’s gentle spray and the shadow of the towering evergreen. A lone bench sits patiently, inviting a quiet moment, as if waiting for a visitor who never comes. The paved path curves gracefully, guiding the eye through this serene corner where time slows and sunlight dances. Painted on site at Eccles Community Art Center in Ogden, Utah, the scene captures the hush of early day, the poetry in stillness, and the gentle dialogue between architecture, nature, and light.
Rear View Ablaze (Eccles Courtyard 2) – The winding cobbled path snakes between the buildings, leading to the sun-drenched back of the Victorian mansion. Morning light ignites the bricks, and shadows play along the path, transforming familiar architecture into something almost alive. Each step feels charged with anticipation, as if the courtyard itself holds secrets waiting to be discovered. Painted on location at Eccles Community Art Center in Ogden, Utah, the work captures the raw drama of a moment suspended, the interplay of sun and stone, and the magic of finding something unexpectedly extraordinary.
