A meditative new painting. This piece really seemed to guide me, a bit of magic.
My solo show is coming up very quickly. I need to order frames and make decisions about which works will be attending. Still much more painting in mind as well.
A new painting that will be part of my upcoming solo show at Haven Gallery! The show is called “The Shadowland” and runs from March 29th – April27th.
I am still painting like mad for the show. I have plenty of work in the studio but aiming to put together a very strong and cohesive collection.
New Sky drama on the easel. Inspiration from my home in North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille is a constant source of visual motivation in my work.
I love the shift of light and color as a sunset turns to dusk. This is a new painting on my studio workbench inspired by those late hours that are beautiful and touched with melancholy.
A new painting I finished shortly before the Christmas Holiday. Love the feel of this piece, I definitely plan to pursue more work with this atmospheric feel.
An unusual new painting now that Christmas is over. This one might be part of my upcoming show at Haven Gallery. The show opens the end of March, much to do.
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
It is a really great contemporary art gallery, the closest one that I work with. I will be participating in a three person “waterscape” show at the gallery in the Spring of 2025. Much work to do!
A newly completed painting on the easel! I am fascinated by light and atmosphere, the magic of nature. I am currently working on a few sunset paintings, stay tuned.
The sun is elusive this time of year, dramatic when it appears. Constant inspiration in my North Idaho home.
There are many paintings in the works today in my studio. I am really getting into the groove, one of the better feelings to have as an artist.
I am pretty fond of this piece. It is a really common subject for me but it is one I truly love. I am thankful I have time to spend painting, trying not to waste it.
There will be more unusual paintings in the near future as I work towards my March solo show. This painting will not be at that show. This one is bound for a gallery, not sure which one just yet.
