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.
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.
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.
Fields of Idaho (Final)
Final capture of this commission that is now at its new home! I have a couple more commissions lined up. I am pretty particular about commissions, it has to be something I am excited about painting.
One Path
I don’t believe in one path, there are oh so many roads. This loose and energetic little painting was a pleasure.
Lake Scenes (line work)
I started another Instagram account @cult_of_doodle. These images are a sample from that site.
I do a lot of quick studies, material experimentation and intuitive work that I never post. That new site is a place to show some other types of work. Have a great weekend.
Morning
A blast of color to start off your Friday morning.
