This is another painting trying to find that balance between something and nothing. I painted this in tandem with “I Hear The Owl”.
This is an 18″x18″ acrylic painting.

I Hear The Owl.
I have been working on some moody forest paintings inspired by the winter gloom of the Pacific Northwest.
This particular piece is an 18″x18″ acrylic painting.
Pendleton road trip!
I went to Pendleton for my second solo art show. This is something I was selected for about a year ago and have been working towards the event with a lot of enthusiasm. I am seeking out more solo exhibitions for art exposure but also my love of road trips and adventure.
The show
Here are a few shots from the show just before the opening! It was a fun time met a lot of great local art patrons!
Betty Feves Memorial Gallery
We spent all day yesterday setting up the show. Lori Sams is the gallery director and she does a great job, brought in a couple of assitants too! The opening is tonight, should be fun.
Pack up the plantation
29 paintings and Lulu
Getting my work together for the next show.
Filling my living room twice!
Water & Light
48″x36″ acrylic painting.
I was working on this while also painting “Sea Change”, which I recently posted. They certainly share some color and lighting approaches. I typically like to work on a few paintings at the same time. The end result being you have three paintings that work well together and it keeps the momentum up. These paintings were so large that two was plenty!
Sea Change
This is another large acrylic painting (48″x36″).
I am working on a number of large paintings currently. This one is basically finished!
Finished Wandering
I completed the unwieldy cow painting I started about a week ago. The finished painting is 48″x36″ mounted on a 3″ deep cradled board.
I could not fit the painting in my photo cube and had to take a photograph of it leaning against a wall. This painting has a lot of interesting shine beneath the surface which makes it intriguing in person but difficult to photograph.
More North Woods
Some final photographs from a fun getaway weekend. The weather cooperated and it really felt like spring!
