I just finished framing four small paintings for a coming exhibit at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It has been too long since they had any of my paintings in stock, that will be changing! I will be having a solo show at the gallery in May, 2024.
This painting is part of a collection of works that will be available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. Wild – Wondrous – World is the landscape exhibit which opens in December.
I am currently varnishing, framing and sorting through work for the show. I will have eight pieces of various sizes, this will probably be the largest.
Inspiration from a gorgeous fall on Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. It has been a warm and colorful autumn in my neck of the woods. A windstorm cleared out a lot of the leaves but I’m not done with them just yet.
This painting was recently sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The trout portrait was part of a collection of wildlife portraits I painted in 2019. I always intended to hang onto one of these small paintings but I shipped them all away.
Fall is a gorgeous time of year, also a bit melancholy. The color and lighting of the season is incredibly inspiring. It pulls me away from the work I was planning. More autumnal images to come.
I am putting together a couple collections of small works. These will be available later in the fall at a couple of galleries TBD.
We are blessed with sunshine and warm days this October in North Idaho. Snow and darkness is just around the corner so I am spending a lot of time hiking and kayaking. It has also inspired a new series of paintings!
A new atmospheric painting on the easel. I had prepared six 12” panels that are my current focus in the studio. Next week I will be moving on to some larger work.
I sold this new painting! It is now varnished, framed and I just need to ship it! It is definitely helpful to have some private sales while I put together a couple collections of work for art galleries.
A new colorful painting in the studio this morning. I have six 12”x12” panels and I am dedicating them all to water imagery.
