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.

Shifting Waves (SOLD)
I was happy to hear that this small painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. Great gallery in a fun coastal town. Happy New Year!
Thunder (RIP 2023)
My final post of 2023. One of my favorite recent works. A celebration of mother nature and the beauty of the Northwest!
Christmas 2023
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2023!
North Winds
More inspiration from the home water, Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho! I am obsessed with the changing landscape and it is an endless well of inspiration.
I used to consider 18”x24” to be a large painting. They now seem small but are a really great size to work on. Plenty of room for expression but small enough to cover relatively quickly, I am working on a series of these misty images with plans to paint much larger work in the near future. My plans are always fluid, always following my enthusiasm of the moment.
Happy Holidays!!
Winter Path (December)
We woke up to snow this morning, to mark the start of December. I thought I would mark the occasion with a small winter painting from 2022. This one was sold to a collector. I am also attaching a video from my morning hike, such a change overnight!
Range (Montana)
Inspiration from big sky country, it’s only right that I send it to a great gallery in Montana, Radius Gallery. This is one of eight pieces bound for Missoula, Montana.
Floating
A small yet mighty new painting. Celebrating the cloud breaks of autumn.
I now have two of these 12” square beauties. I will probably send them to a gallery but I am still trying to sort out what is going where.
Summer Shine (final)
I just varnished and framed this painting. It will be part of a collection of new work heading to Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. Wild – Wondrous – World is the landscape exhibit which opens in December.
Lake Dream
Lake Pend Oreille has been a constant source of inspiration in my painting for nearly eight years. The shifting atmospherics through the seasons fills me with enthusiasm. The weather can be pretty rough but the studio stays warmish.
