This painting never felt fully realized. I put an afternoon of painting into this piece. I added some subtle opaque touches. I introduce more warm muted reds and some additional clouds.
Timbered Vignette
This new painting was inspired by my daily hikes in the National Forest near my home. Growing up I was fortunate to have a dad who worked for the US Forest Service! We had so many great adventures in the back country.
The World View
“The World in View” opened at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado over the weekend. I am pleased to have a few pieces in this excellent group exhibit!
Afterburn (24” x 18”), Sun Season (18” x 24”) and Early Glow (20” x 20”)
Rise
A new painting in the studio! I decided to go very vertical with this piece to interesting effect.
Higher Art Gallery
I shipped four paintings to Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan!
I haven’t sent work to Higher Art Gallery in two or three years. I am excited to send some small pieces their way.!
Days of May
This painting really captures the daily feel of May, where I live, in North Idaho. It is also the fourth painting in my collection of 24” x 24” paintings. There are two more to paint, stay tuned.
Endings
I am working on some miniature pieces lately as my time has been limited in the studio (there is never enough studio time). These tiny paintings are an opportunity to work out compositions, color schemes and ideas. Bigger things to come!
Lonesome Tree (three)
Three miniatures freshly painted in the studio! Fun to work on some little pieces.
Burning Down
A new painting on the easel today. I really love the atmospheric glow around the mountains in this piece. my next solo show will be a year from now in Denver, starting to build towards that goal.
The World in View (Abend Gallery)
Two paintings headed to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They will part of the upcoming group show “The World in View” which opens May 30th.
