Leading Light
The big star in our sky is always captivating. It seems I can’t watch enough sunrises or sunsets.
Painting some new work on these large 24” x 24”, cradled wood panels. I have a few more primed, keep your eyes peeled.
Midnight
My newest nocturne painting in the studio. This is the third painting in this series on 18” cradled wood panels.
Tomorrow
I am always dreaming of a better future. What we all have is today, I will spend it painting.
Light Embrace
Painting atmosphere and light is always a huge focus in my work. This new painting has a great bit of mood. Really nice size board to paint on as well.
Burning Hours
The sky burns with the endless march of time.
A new cloudscape in the studio today. I love exploring light and motion. A cloudscape void of any landscape or anchors to the ground, such as mountains or trees, is intriguing to me.
Mountain Moon
I am working on a series of 18” moon paintings, this is the first in the collection. I named it “mountain moon”, it occurred to me later those words together sounded like a song… Flyin’ Shoes, great song by a legendary artist.
Townes Van Zandt – Flyin’ Shoes
Day’s full of rain
Sky’s coming down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby it won’t be long
‘Fore I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
‘Til I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Spring only sighed
Summer had to be satisfied
Fall is a feeling
That I just can’t lose
I’d like to stay
Maybe watch a winter day
Turn the green water
To white and blue
Flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
‘Til I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
The mountain moon
Forever sets too soon
Being alone
Is all the hills can do
Alone and then
Her silver sails again
And they will follow in
Their flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
And they will follow in
Their flyin’ shoes
Lullaby (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn this painting was sold through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. It is a really beautiful contemporary art gallery, happy to have work available there!
Winter Rain
A new painting on the easel. The days are gray and the snow is bring washed away with the rains. This painting is January.
Higher
A new small painting, finished in the studio today. I have been working on far too many paintings simultaneously so it was nice to step away and paint something small that could be finished relatively quickly.
