A new painting in celebration of summer light and the good things.
Excited to be back in the states and more importantly back in my studio. Painting is a solitary adventure I constantly crave.

Sky Electric
I am starting a new series of cloud paintings featuring a bit of electricity! I have a number of 11”x14” canvas panels and decided to do a deep dive on the subject. If I am still excited upon their completion I may do a very large painting on the theme. I follow my own enthusiasm always.
Ascend to Dream (TBT)
This surreal dreamscape is framed and available through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Western Burn
A new 18”x18” painting on cradled board. I have primed and prepared 5 of these boards for new work. I can feel them calling to me as I write this.
I am eager to get back home and back to my studio to continue my work. A family medical emergency has prevented that from happening any time soon. The feeling of uncertainty is always present in life, stronger these days.
Rivers Edge
A small painting on the easel. I love the mark making and flow that this little painting exhibits. More ideas to pursue…”
Late Times (revisit)
This emotional landscape is available through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I have found these dramatic and surreal paintings as an amazing emotional release from the endless anxiety.
Eternity’s Edge (reels)
This new painting is now complete. I love painting dramatic sky scapes and seascapes. I still need to sign, varnish and frame so a bit more to do. If I end up shipping this to a client or gallery that is another step!
Chaos and Beauty
This small painting really connected with me. I love to create tension and movement when I paint. I have placed this on one of my studio shelves for further reflection. A massive version would be pretty compelling.
Beginning
I have 6 square 18” boards that I am painting at the moment. Continuing to chase moody atmospherics. This one is still a work in progress but it is getting there.
Eternity’s Edge
This is one of a few large atmospheric paintings I am currently working on in the studio. I recently returned from a long cruise, more ocean related adventures coming this summer. Adventures take me away from the studio but they also fuel my desires.
