This small painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I did a series of three little campfire paintings.
Small Comfort (Denver)
Tag: acrylic
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).
As The Sea 🔴
This painting sold at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It is part of my ongoing exhibit that will run through September 8th.
Vantage
I am continuing to paint some modest sized panels I have prepped. Slowly building a collection of paintings that I will be sending out to a few select galleries in the coming months.
Morning
A small painting on the easel in my studio today. I am working on a number of smaller pieces at the moment. Larger work will follow.
Chasing
I am busy painting in the studio. This one is brand new. I have primed and prepped a lot of fairly small panels and am diving in.
Evening Rose
This sunset painting is available with Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Summer nights on the lake are magical yet fleeting. They never get old and always inspire.
