The Harbinger (SOLD)
This painting sold in February of this year through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I am excited to have another solo show with them summer of 2022.
Lost Light
One of my favorite new paintings that I shipped to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole. I sent them two of these vertical vibrant pieces. Always excited to have work in Jackson, Wyoming!
Sea of Dreams
Another small painting, exploration and experimentation for larger work. It is difficult to make such a small piece feel expressive, this one does.
Bringing Light
This painting really captures our dramatic skies of the season. Clouds pressing in but the blue of summer still shining through.
Small Comfort (Denver)
This small painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I did a series of three little campfire paintings.
Whispered (Momentum)
This painting is part of my exhibit at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Just a few more weeks before the show closes… where has summer gone?
Bringing Light
Today in the studio. Capturing a little bit of summer on a board. Our ground squirrels have already started hibernating and now the hummingbirds have vanished. It is still August, It all seems too soon.
Eastern Song
I am nearly finished with my latest commission. It was a very specific size and dimension so I custom built a cradled board to the exact measurement that the client requested. I use to outsource the woodworking aspect but people have become both unreliable and horribly expensive (winning combination). So now I do everything in-house right down to the framing.
After the board was finished I sanded it down as smooth as possible. I put four or five layers of gesso onto the wood. Finally it is time to do the painting!
It is always satisfying when the buyer is excited by the finished work. The final steps will be signing, edge detail and varnish… then packing and shipping!
Old and New
I sold this large painting through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I will be returning to the gallery in June 2022 for a new solo exhibit at the gallery! in the meantime I am trying to finish up some new pieces for the gallery to tide them over (ugh that pun).
