Four finished pieces that will be at my upcoming solo show “Dreams Between Darkness”. The show opens June 11th at the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The show will consist of 20-24 paintings, these are by far the smallest works.

Late Days (final)

Always had a soft spot for this painting, though it has been tough to photograph. It will be part of my upcoming solo show “Dreams between Darkness” opening June 11th at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. Check out the video to see it living in the studio.
Moons to Robert Lange Studios




Four moon paintings being prepped for a group exhibit. The show is called “Many Moons” at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. Happy to be invited to participate.
Transition (and news)

This is one of the large paintings that will be featured at my upcoming solo show. The exhibit is titled “Dreams Between Darkness “, and opens June 11th at the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Home Water

Bringing it back home today with a new painting in the studio. Inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. I always think of this as my home water. It has been for more than 6 years now.
Churning

Having some fun with a bit of surf in the studio. The lake is my constant muse but I love the ocean too. I have included a video so you can get a better feel for the painting in the studio.
Sparkle Through

Some new shimmering work. There was a time when I thought a 24”x18” board was big… now it just seems like a fun size to paint. I am putting together a large collection of pieces with these dimensions, some should be available at my solo show June 11th at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Tree of Light

I just finished this dark intriguing piece. I posted it here a while back as a WIP. I am locked up in the studio scrambling to get paintings finalized for my upcoming solo show. The exhibit will be in Astoria, Oregon at the RiverSea Gallery! The show opens June 11th.
Two Lights

This one feels like a special painting. I haven’t decided if it should be part of my solo show or a group show I was invited to participate in featuring the moon as a theme.
Beneath the Shine III
A new painting that is part of a water inspired collection I am currently working on. These paintings are all painted on a square deep cradled wood panel. I finish them with a gold leaf edge.
