The idea of North

By and large... Montana. My kids and the places we explore. Water, canoes, rafting, camping, woods, hunting and fishing. Night. All Images are by me. Most are works-in-progress... first drafts. This is a sort of cross-section of my life. A collection of artwork and snapshot from the day-to-day activity. Answers to frequently asked questions: I do like apples and making hard cider out of them. I am distantly related to John Chapman. I like Scottish music... like Mogwai. Thanks for stopping by....
