I have been painting a lot of sunsets lately. Trying to capture the color shifts and play of light and atmosphere is something I am obsessed with!

Blue
Final capture of one of the many paintings that will be on display at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The show dates are July 13 through August 6, 2019. In related news I am finally having Giclee Prints made of a select few pieces, including this one!
Large Landscape
Another large landscape on the easel. I am working on two paintings this size for a show at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
I have really enjoyed working on such a large cradled board. It seems every time I paint something with some scale I want to do more! As I am finalizing work for my solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon I am also finalizing paintings for a few galleries sprinkled around the country. It seems I am always scrambling.
Weekend
Rolling Water, 21.5”x8” acrylic
A long weekend of varnishing and framing for my upcoming show. Table Saw issues were a major setback. Sadly very little painting was done.
Color and a Touch of Colour
I have been pretty obsessed with the sunrises and sunsets on Lake Pend Oreille. Conveniently I have a tough time sleeping during normal hours so that makes it easier to witness the incredibly early dawn.
Not to complain but I’m always a little sad after the summer solstice. The first official day of summer is also when the daylight starts to dwindle. That’s life in a nutshell.
Decisions
As my next show gets closer I am making decisions about which pieces I will take. I am varnishing older work and still painting new pieces. I want the exhibit to be a strong collection that all belongs together but also with visual variety. It is tough to know sometimes exactly how much work is needed. Like so many things in life it is about making good decisions.
Sea change
Though this painting was sold, prints can still be purchased at minted.com! I have many paintings available and more from the latest challenge coming soon!
RiverSea
This is the my largest painting headed to my show “Apocalyptic Beauty” at the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The exhibit runs from July 13th through August 6th, 2019. There will be approximately 30 paintings!
Colorful Endings
Another new painting bound for my show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Three Small Works
I varnished and framed these small paintings. The lower right piece is off to Colorado.
