Painting time was pretty limited this summer. I focused on small paintings that I could finish in shorter work windows. I finally used my last small panel!

Along the Edge
This painting has a real presence, and feels like something “new”. I am chasing ideas and following the paint into darker country. March 2025 will be my next solo show, it will be at Haven Gallery in Long Island, New York.
Disappearing
A new small painting completed this week. An ode to summer.
Moonshine
A new nocturne painting in the studio. I really love the mood of this piece. I might pursue some larger variations on this theme.
Hidden
I am working on three of these unusual paintings. Dark, brooding and mysterious. I am continuing my summer of modest sized works, looking forward to scaling up in the fall.
Next March I will be having a solo show at Haven Gallery in New York. Many ideas and much work ahead! Stay tuned.
Passing (revisit)
This moody stormy painting was always a favorite. It is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina!

Mood
I am obsessed with moody landscapes. The feeling of vastness in stark contrast with your own limitations as a human.
This planet is filled with inspiration. I like mine a little haunted.
Unseen
Taking an unplanned artistic excursion. Excited to see where this will take me. I have four 12” x 12” panels, I will do a collection!
Towers (another look)
This large painting has been hanging out in my studio for a few seasons. I almost sent it to my solo show in Asheville this May but decided to hang onto it for a little while.
Drift
The nonstop small painting continues. This painting has inspired me to work on a couple of 18” x 24” paintings of a similar vibe. I am interested in pushing the moody nature of this piece at a grander scale.
