I paint the place you can't stop thinking about

Custom oil landscape paintings of the American Southwest

Randy turns a photo that means something to you into a thick, textured oil painting.
Send a photo, get a free mockup, and only keep it if you love it.

That photo deserves more than a hard drive

The view you can't stop thinking about is stuck on your phone. The family cabin, the canyon you hiked at sunset, the bend in the river where you learned to cast a fly. A custom oil painting pulls that memory into the room where you drink your morning coffee. It gives the place a second life — one you can walk up to and touch.

Turn your favorite photo into a painting

Send me the photo of a place that mens something to you, and I'll paint it in oil at the size that fits your wall. You end up with an original, one-of-a-kind piece nobody else in the world has. Your place, your memory, painted by hand.

No deposit, no obligation. I paint on a no-commitment basis, so you only move forward once you love the mockup.

Paint you can feel

Here's something I tell everyone who stands in front of one of my paintings: go ahead and touch it.

I paint thick. The oil sits up off the canvas, so the light catches it differently as you move around the room, and you can actually feel the ridge of a mountain or the churn of a sky under your fingers. A photo you can only look at. A painting like this, you get to experience. That texture is a big part of why these pieces make a room feel different.

The guy in the teardrop trailer

I've spent a long time chasing light and landscapes, and honestly the painting is only half of it. I love the driving, the getting lost, and talking to the people who end up with my work, because every painting comes with a conversation. My aim is simple: give you a piece that makes home feel more like yours, and hand you a good story to tell.
