This small painting is from February of this year. Another idea I have meant to explore a bit more.

Give to Silence
This one is still a work in progress. I have a number of paintings evolving this week. Preparing for my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
Rise and Fall
This painting is going to part of my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I am working very hard and making decisions about the paintings I have.
Gates of Gold
I just finished this painting yesterday afternoon. The backlit clouds and intensity of hue are pretty effective!
Begin to End (final)
Varnishing and finalizing this painting. Shipping it across the border to Washington State this week!
I am fortunate and so great full that I am continuing to sell my work during these times.
Vashon Island
Vashon Center for the Arts
I closed out my show in Western Washington. A lot of travel and time away from the studio. Great excuse to see family and friends.
Remember Light
This time of year light does seem like something either remembered or glimpsed shining on a distant mountain. Light is the star of the show in this painting.
I am going to be putting coats of varnish on this piece today, then time to frame!
Captured Images (a small collection)
Collecting high resolution photographs of your art is critical. At the very least it is something worth looking at later to see how your work has changed and hopefully evolved. I frequently fail to capture images of my paintings and it’s a shame to sell work without retaining a digital version.
Over the weekend I did manage to take some photographs of my recent works. These aren’t the highest resolution, I scaled them down for the website.
I was motivated by a deadline, it always seems to take a deadline!
Little Water
A couple small water studies, each 8″x10″. I always seem to come back to these meditative pieces.
I have been experimenting with some gel medium in the paint for a little thicker texture. It definitely changes the behavior of the paint in interesting ways. If the ratio of paint to medium is too high the dry color becomes a bit unpredictable, which isn’t a great thing!
Eventide
This 20″x16″ painting is a recently completed work. My obsession with atmosphere, light and grande expanses motivated this piece.
The entire collection of three together in the second photograph.
