Lightning & Snow: the peanut butter & chocolate of nature. I took this painting outside for the lovely natural light.
Rare post featuring me with my painting.

Water water everywhere
Three water paintings I am working on for Abend Gallery in Denver. Using some really great panels from artefexart!
Artefex Rigid Panels
Rise Above (final)
Final capture of this painting from six weeks ago. What a different world it was. I wonder what things will look like six weeks from now? I guess we will have to wait and see.
Three from the Forest
Forest art is filling much of my studio. Beginning to narrow the collection of works for “The Woodlands” show at Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, MI.
I think all of the galleries I send work to are currently shut down. A time of unknowns, will have to wait and see.
Oblivion’s Dance I
From imagery stuck in my mind. I am painting this series of paintings until my focus shifts… it tends to shift frequently.
Three of a Kind
Brooding and fascinating, clouds are a constant source of inspiration.
Above the Grey
One of five paintings I am working on for Abend Gallery in Denver. Using some really great panels from artefexart. These panels are thin aluminum with a polyethylene core. The company was generous enough to provide complimentary panels for me. They have a lot of great large scale panels so I will be buying some in the future!

Darkening Wood
Wandering around alone in the woods can be magical. It sounds a bit like a metaphor at the moment.
Spring!
It really feels like the end of days still the sun is shining. My modest 401k has gone away even as the snow turns back to ground. Finance and health aside the stretching days are filled with light. Thankful this didn’t happen in the darkened depths of Fall.
Ascending Heat
Nature has no emotion, making it feel very cruel at times. The natural world has and will always be my inspiration, the world is a beautiful place.
