I revisited this piece and did a bit more layering. Some additional painting to the forest shore and it is now complete. I always strive to keep my work loose without overworking.
I am preparing to start on another vertical painting. Difficult to focus with all of the beautiful weather!
Blinding beauty as inspiration. For anyone keeping track, this is the 5th painting in my 24” x 24” collection. One more to come!
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.
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 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”)
A new painting in the studio! I decided to go very vertical with this piece to interesting effect.
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.!
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.
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!
Three miniatures freshly painted in the studio! Fun to work on some little pieces.
