Three New Pioneer Paintings

"Death Cannot Conquer" 16 x 21 Watercolor of Carthage Jail


"The Nauvoo Temple, Winter 1845-46" 24 x 30 Watercolor


"The Ellis Mendenhall Sanders House in Nauvoo" 14 x 21 Watercolor

I have been working on several commission paintings from our family history trip this summer. My brother Grant Lee is an avid genealogist and made me an offer I couldn't refuse to paint some scenes that follow our pioneer ancestors who travelled from England, then worked their way across the plains to settle in Utah and California. As early converts to the LDS Church they suffered many hardships and persecutions as they pursued their beliefs. I have enjoyed getting to know them better by following their pioneer trail.

Sullivans Purchase Lake Powell Painting

My attorney Sean Sullivan and his wife Kristin just purchased my painting, "Lake Powell Cliffs" for their home. It's their first purchase of one of my original paintings and will hopefully be a nice addition to their collection. The photo was taken at The Mission Gallery in St. George, Utah.

Jenkins' Purchase Zion Painting

Our good friends Kevin and Adrianne Jenkins celebrated their one-month anniversary by stopping at the Mission Gallery today and purchasing my original watercolor painting "Misty River - Zion National Park."

Studio in the Home

After maintaining a studio and gallery downtown for the past five years I decided it is time to simplify our life a little. So I've moved my painting studio back into our home in St. George. It took a little work to get rid of 20 years of office furniture and other art junk, but it feels great! I like the new digs. I'm streamlined, lean, and mean--and I can work in my pajamas til all hours of the night. Plus I really like having lunch with Nellie each day.


Here I am at work on one of a series of historical painting commissions I'll be doing this summer.
