I have a fondness for desolation and solitude. The warmth and light in this piece is all the companionship needed.
Wilderness of Water
Category: environment
Final Burn
Inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho. This time of year the last sun blasts the mountains to the east. A true spectacle of color.
Morning Forest
A couple recent works that pair well, influence from morning hikes. Starting with small studies can either lead to larger pieces or satisfy the need.
Waiting (studio)
A little mood on this Monday morning.
Seasons End (final)
I finished this apocalyptic beauty over the weekend. This image is from a high resolution photograph in my studio this morning.
Love of Gold
More inspiration from the forest. I am very fortunate to live close to a National Forest trailhead. I have been using it constantly and it renews my inspiration daily. With so much snow already building up, not sure if I will be able to keep it up… I will try.
Water to Shore
A nice bit of drama with this piece. I am starting a large commission so I have been doing some related studies.
Summer Light (final)
From high resolution scan, I am particularly fond of this one. I was planning on doing some really large paintings in this theme. I have derailed myself but it’s still on my mind.
Midas Sun (final)
This small piece is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I put this one in a really beautiful custom made floater frame that has a copper tint.
Greeting Dawn
My ongoing collection of small forest paintings. I am not taking the mornings for granted.
