To be back home. One more summer day. The cool breeze and bold light. You reveled in the simple pleasures. I can not bear it, I will forever miss you.

Rise Again (Final)

Final studio capture of this large dramatic piece. It now resides in Las Vegas.
One Breath

Light and atmosphere as inspiration and motivation.
Witness (one year)

This photo was taken nearly a year ago. I am constantly thinking about the passing of time and how I spend it. It is true you spend time like money but it cannot be replenished. The clock is ticking, can I make the most of this day? I continue to paint each day. It is how I pay my bills but it is also my passion in life. All we can do is follow our enthusiasms and appreciate the good time while we have it.
Small Comfort (SOLD)

I was happy to learn this magical little painting sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They have been a great gallery to work with and consistently sell my work. I had a solo show there last August but it became an online only show.
Timbered Shore

This feels so much like the Northwest to me. Common elements of inspiration that I adore. I am so excited for Spring.
The Moment

There are moments in nature so pure my thoughts seem to vanish. For the briefest time I am a child of nature.
Patterns of Time

This one basically named itself. Water is mesmerizing even as it slowly alters the world.
Bloom of Sun

Another small painting experiment with string line work. I am always happy for sunshine this time of year.
The Harbinger

Yesterday I heard this painting sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon! This piece is one of my favorites, a marriage of mystery and menace. The painting now lives in Portland, Oregon.
