Some new shimmering work. There was a time when I thought a 24”x18” board was big… now it just seems like a fun size to paint. I am putting together a large collection of pieces with these dimensions, some should be available at my solo show June 11th at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
A new painting that is part of a water inspired collection I am currently working on. These paintings are all painted on a square deep cradled wood panel. I finish them with a gold leaf edge.
A conversation about my art, my approach and making a living as an artist.
Happy Earth Day, now check out the moon. We seem dead set on destruction but somehow the planet is still spinning… good job earth.
Final studio capture of this dramatic cloudscape. I am still putting together my solo show collection, photographing some of the finished pieces.
A new painting in the studio. This one is a work in progress, a dramatic experiment. I am going to be doing a few in a series… the grand adventure.
A tribute to the season. I am so excited for more daylight and sunshine. A little sun on the lake and the day is better.
I am working on a little collection of these 16” square water paintings. I put gold leaf on the 2” cradled side rather than framing the pieces. Some of these should be at my June solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
WIP in the studio today. Hard winds kicking up on the lake today, making for a timely painting.
A new reel honoring the ending of the winter season for 2022. The snow is melting fast here so this year it seems accurate! This is my favorite winter painting of the year, seemed like the appropriate one to post.
I am wrapping up a big new Art Commission arranged through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. This one she brings the magic and the mystery. I keep saying I won’t do more commissions. The commissions have all been rewarding this year… but seriously this might be the last, for a little while.
