I started this painting just about a year ago. I decided it was time to finish it or prep the surface for a new painting. I ended up adding some wave detail and strengthening the contrast.

Seasons End
Another large painting in the works in my studio.
Tree Hugging
Eye makes a special appearance. I was excited to paint trees catching the morning light. I am hiking early every morning, it is an inspiration.
Hidden Sun (Montana)
Another painting now at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I have six pieces in the exhibit which will open November 7th, 2020.
Halloween (2020)
This painting seemed like the perfect post for Halloween. Part of a series of dark tree imagery I created this year. I intended to paint some huge versions but the pandemic, fires and general apocalyptic vibe of the year dulled my enthusiasm… at least for now.
Fall Transition
Winter came raging in though Fall is still at work. Time is short on hours, less this time of year. Monochromatic winter looms and palettes shift.
Solitude (Denver)
This painting is at Abend Gallery in Denver. I am currently working on a few pieces this size. There is such a sense of dread and doom, I am pushing forward. Create my greatest work, for myself.
Shining (SOLD)
Final image of this painting from a High Resolution scan. Minimalist approach to the shine of water.
Two for Missoula
Two recent favorites now at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I sent them a collection of six. I would really love to checkout the gallery. They have built a beautiful new gallery in a great location.
With snow on the roads it’s better just to stay in the studio for now.
Big Beyond (in Montana)
Final shot of this powerful piece, headed to Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. This is the largest painting in a collection of five that just reached the gallery!
