Drawing inspiration from the low autumn sun. This time of year can bring a sense of melancholy. I also get excited for the massive hours of studio time ahead. I am leaning into the season and finding some magic for my work.

Loon Song (reel)
A scene from my studio with a new painting on the easel. I always loved this Damien Jurado song as well…
Sacred (SOLD)
This painting has sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. As I prepare and frame a new collection of paintings it is great to hear about sales at one of the art galleries I work with.
The Traveler
I will be varnishing and framing this painting during the weekend. It is a commission that will be displayed with an older painting of my called “the hermit”.
Breaking (SOLD)
A new painting that I will be varnishing and framing. This one was a commission arranged through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. So excited to be working with them.
Haunted Edge (WIP)
This painting truly has a haunting feeling in person. Part of a series I am working on inspired by the lake shore and the season.
Greeting Dawn (SOLD)
This small painting just sold through Grand Bohemian Gallery in St Augustine, Florida. This was a painting I did last Fall. I find myself again, this year, painting forest scenes in intense autumn sunlight. Clearly this time of year that low sun brings inspiration.
Expanding Days (SOLD)
This painting sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. “Expanding Days”, was the final painting from my solo show. Momentum Gallery has also sold the four additional paintings I sent after the exhibit. The gallery has been really great to work with!
Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
A quick visit to the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. A really impressive building with a great rooftop sculpture garden though very limited number of sculptures. One interesting exhibit but other space was in transition so a bit limited. It was heavily damaged in the riots so it seemed to be in restoration mode.
Chazen Museum of Art
On a trip to Madison, Wisconsin I have found some time to rest explore and see some great artwork. Wonderful collection at the Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin.
I was so excited to see an impressive collection of Beth Cavener sculptures. I have been a tremendous fan of hers for years and it was a surprise to stumble upon some of her more iconic pieces at the museum.
