Seeking
Well it had to happen. After a couple months of constant snow my paintings followed suit. I am taking on a large winter landscape project but wanted to dive in and play with some small images first. The commission is a different color scheme but it’s good to get my groove on with these first.
The Weight
We have been buried in snow for months with months to go. I enjoy the scenery but it can also be difficult… paying my respects to the winter.

Studio WIP
A quick little glimpse into my studio today. This painting is starting to take shape. Mood, mystery and atmosphere always elements I pursue in my work. Have a great weekend.
Greet the Dawn
A new painting in the studio today. This one is lighting up my work space.

Dawning (reels)
This painting is now availability through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.

Rise Above (Abend Gallery)
One of twelve new paintings shipped to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. This one sat in my studio for much of the year, nearly finished… now it is done and gone, just like the year.
