This small painting is from February of this year. Another idea I have meant to explore a bit more.
Blaze into Dark
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.
Depth of Air
This painting will be part of my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The exhibit is opening July 2nd!
Water in a Frame
I painted this two years ago. Unusual framing for me but it works well with this little painting. I ended up selling it to a client in California.
Midas Sun (SOLD)
I was happy to learn a couple of my paintings have sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. “Midas Sun” was one of the paintings that was sold, a bit of a charmer.
I am very busy painting and refining other works for my upcoming solo exhibit at Momentum Gallery. It is always a daunting task to get so many works ready for a show, but I am totally into it!
