A year ago I had a solo show at Elliott Fouts Gallery. This is one of the many pieces sold at that exhibit. I flew down for the opening, such a fun trip and great gallery. Part of the appeal of solo shows is the adventure!

Human Chain
Human Chain
24”x24”, acrylic
Busy varnishing artwork for my upcoming show. So much work to sort through, so much exploration.
Floating or Falling
Three 24″x24″ paintings on the studio counter. Sometimes it is good just to start painting… no clear destination. These cloudscape paintings were freeing to paint. I am not sure if I will keep these but it doesn’t really matter.
Scotchman Peak
This painting is mostly about the light. It does also have a regionally famous peak as its namesake. This lovely mountain is east of where I live in North Idaho. I can see the peak when I am out on Lake Pend Oreille.
Last year I took a small plane ride from Dover Bay that flew directly over the peak. At the summit a small herd of mountain goats were milling about. Now when I see Scotchman Peak I think about the goats.
Sky Diving
When my father turned 80 he decided he wanted to go sky diving. Half way through that age he booked a jump when I was coming down to visit. My cousin Eric and I both decided to jump with him which was a big adventure for a Friday morning!
My sister wanted to go as well so now my Dad is going to jump again with her in two weeks! He makes 80 look pretty darn good.
Photos were taken by my Uncle Mike Wingert!
Pendleton road trip!
I went to Pendleton for my second solo art show. This is something I was selected for about a year ago and have been working towards the event with a lot of enthusiasm. I am seeking out more solo exhibitions for art exposure but also my love of road trips and adventure.
