WIP in the studio today. Hard winds kicking up on the lake today, making for a timely painting.

Nocturne Spirit

I new moonlight painting in my studio. I have been working on a few of these pieces recently. I sold a couple of them but this one might be bound for a group exhibit. Time will tell as it seems to do.
Winter Magic (final)

A final studio shot of this painting. Inspired by the cold beauty of the north woods. This painting will be part of my solo exhibit at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The show opening is June 11th, I am planning on attending the opening.
Beyond Forever (reels)
This video shows some of the finalizing that goes into an already finished painting! I have since shipped this one to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. It was a commission arranged through the gallery.
Good Things 🔴

I was happy to learn that this painting sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. I have been working with the gallery for about 5 years now. Hopefully I can get more work to them soon. I have been swamped putting together work for my June solo show.
Ascend to Dream & Drifting Above




More studio photos of recent work. I have reorganized my jam packed studio… excited to see the work all together. Deciding what will go to my June 11th solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Late Times

Psychological landscape work! This apocalyptic piece has a tremendous presence in the studio.
Stand Alone
A new reel honoring the ending of the winter season for 2022. The snow is melting fast here so this year it seems accurate! This is my favorite winter painting of the year, seemed like the appropriate one to post.
Waxing Dusk (video)
I revisited this painting. It never felt “right” to me. Some additional work proved to be the right decision. Now I have finalized the painting, signed and varnished.
Only Passing Through
We had a pretty loud lightning and hail storm on Lake Pend Oreille yesterday. A little bit of excitement as winter slowly gives up the ghost.
