About Us
Painting, especially large scale, is one of the joys of my life. With travel and a love of all things Nature, I’ve been able to teach, write, edit, mentor and maintain two studios, one on each coast.

"We know Les and his family socially and know of his impressive mountain climbing prowess. Anything Les tackles comes with knowledge, research and a large degree of optimism and forethought. He is also a delightful and engaging person to be around and would certainly be an exceptional leader as well as a team player in any endeavor."

I love every single day that I can paint, teach, write creatively and attend classes. The rewards are that people who like my work tell me which is also gratifying. I have felt the wonder of my life many times over.

I believe the best form of advertising for me has been word of mouth. I enjoy helping a restaurant or small business give an artistic impression of their values. I do this by paintings the size and type of subject matter that generally appeals to all, I keep it small for small spaces, large for the bigger spaces and arrange an agreement with the owner to keep the work up (and only my work) until they feel the need to change. This becomes a personal gallery for me, and I manage the sales, replacements and hanging plus the agreement is "no commission" so I can charge a little less. I get to curate my own paintings in an already beautiful setting and have made everyone happy, including myself, by being generous with the number of paintings I bring in each year to refresh the look.
