I love the shift of light and color as a sunset turns to dusk. This is a new painting on my studio workbench inspired by those late hours that are beautiful and touched with melancholy.

The Autopilot
I did a small quick painting of this idea a little while back. It appealed to me so I decided to paint this larger more refined version. Something a bit different from my landscape work, I dig it.
The High Light
A new painting I finished shortly before the Christmas Holiday. Love the feel of this piece, I definitely plan to pursue more work with this atmospheric feel.
Bloom
An unusual new painting now that Christmas is over. This one might be part of my upcoming show at Haven Gallery. The show opens the end of March, much to do.
Finale
The last light and burst of color before the darkness. I am excited we are on the other side of the winter solstice. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Big Empty (SOLD)
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The town had a brutal year and I am so glad Momentum Gallery weathered the storm and grateful they represent me.
Range (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
It is a really great contemporary art gallery, the closest one that I work with. I will be participating in a three person “waterscape” show at the gallery in the Spring of 2025. Much work to do!
Fade of Days
A newly completed painting on the easel! I am fascinated by light and atmosphere, the magic of nature. I am currently working on a few sunset paintings, stay tuned.
Between
The sun is elusive this time of year, dramatic when it appears. Constant inspiration in my North Idaho home.
There are many paintings in the works today in my studio. I am really getting into the groove, one of the better feelings to have as an artist.
Burn Away
I am pretty fond of this piece. It is a really common subject for me but it is one I truly love. I am thankful I have time to spend painting, trying not to waste it.
There will be more unusual paintings in the near future as I work towards my March solo show. This painting will not be at that show. This one is bound for a gallery, not sure which one just yet.
