Another dreamscape painting for my rapidly approaching solo show. The show will be at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The show opens July 2nd!
Crush of Life
Depth of Air
I have finished this painting. It will be part of my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I am finalizing a few more paintings and varnishing a lot more. So much to do before I ship off the work.
The Exhibit opens July 2nd at Momentum Gallery. The gallery has an incredible new space in fully renovated historic building. Hoping to get down there soon.
Blaze into Dark
This small painting is from February of this year. Another idea I have meant to explore a bit more.
Edge of Day
A colorful new painting in my studio today.
Mercies
I sold this painting a couple of summers ago. It felt like the right image for this beautiful Memorial Day Weekend.
Give to Silence
I finished the painting last night, aside from the varnishing and framing. The painting will be part of my next solo show. The exhibit opens July 2nd at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
Morning
A vibrant little painting from February of this year. I was painting a lot of color studies and smaller works. always a useful approach before working on larger paintings. A faster way to experiment with color, value, composition and concepts than a big panel. Of course in the end I just moved on without following many of these threads.
Heartache in Pink
Pink is the star of this painting. This piece is another contender for my solo show at Momentum Gallery. I am in the last month of work with a lot of distractions!
Whispered
I often find myself painting work I think of as “dreamscapes”. The driving focus of this piece is mood, light and atmosphere. The result not so much a literal translation of scenery but a slightly surreal departure from reality.
