Another small study potentially leading to a larger work. I have worked up a few of these little waterscapes now. I am going to begin a larger painting this Memorial Monday, along these lines.

Solo Show (Apocalyptic Beauty)
I finally captured a proper photo of this painting. I am starting the process of sorting through my work in preparation for my next solo exhibit. The show opens July 13th at McVarish Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
It is almost June now so I am really on deadline for the July show. Yesterday I shipped off the last of my commissions. I still need to get work to a couple galleries in the next month besides my personal show so I am going to be painting constantly! Honestly I am not complaining, I am thrilled! Doing what I truly love after 25 years working on digital art, I am so fortunate. On a long weekend dedicated to the memory of soldiers that sacrificed everything, my life is so ridiculously easy.
Saturday morning Gold
I finalized work on another commission. I intensified the colors and mounted the painting in a floater frame. They wanted a “Montana” inspired grassland, I made light the star of the show. I really like the loose quality of the grass, some really fresh color blends.
Shipping this painting to Western Washington and a couple small works to Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. I have been working nonstop so hoping to relax a bit this Memorial Day Weekend. I hope everyone else enjoys a long weekend!
Dark Waters
I am painting some small moody seascapes in preparation for some much larger pieces. This is the first one I came up with.
Color and Light
Small paintings are a great way to play with compositions and color schemes. I am also excited to use these little frames!
All the world is green
The magic of spring when the grass is still green and growing. The days expanding and the outdoors beckon.
Two of a kind
I finished these two small sunset paintings. I have a number of small frames and am excited to fill them! These will probably be headed to my solo show in Astoria, Oregon in July.
Through the frame
Another small painting! The brush partly for scale, mostly for painting.
Abend Gallery
I am sending three 5″x5″ paintings to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They are having a small works show and asked if I had time to paint any. These are in the mail on their way now!
A little magic
Lately I have been working on some small paintings! I have some very large panels patiently waiting in the wings so stay tuned!
