This is an older painting that I sold three years ago. This time of year I am looking at past work as I begin work for the new year. I am always experimenting and trying to create something unique, beautiful and emotional.
I was happy to hear that this small painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. Great gallery in a fun coastal town. Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2023!
More inspiration from the home water, Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho! I am obsessed with the changing landscape and it is an endless well of inspiration.
I used to consider 18”x24” to be a large painting. They now seem small but are a really great size to work on. Plenty of room for expression but small enough to cover relatively quickly, I am working on a series of these misty images with plans to paint much larger work in the near future. My plans are always fluid, always following my enthusiasm of the moment.
Happy Holidays!!
New work on the easel today. I am working on a few of these epic images. A tribute to the mood and limited sunlight of the winter season.
Four of my miniature paintings are now available through Haven Gallery! This is a cool contemporary art gallery in Long Island, New York. I have been working with them just over a year now. I will be having a solo show there in 2025. These shows are scheduled far in advance as it takes a huge amount of time to put together a large collection of paintings.
WORLD – show opens tonight at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. A nice little display of 6 of my pieces from an email the gallery released. I have two large paintings that are among my favorite pieces this year in the exhibit as well.
These paintings are available through the gallery for a limited time, starting today!
“Radius Gallery’s WORLD, December 12th – December 30th,” www.radiusgallery.com
I have 8 paintings available in this exciting holiday show. I drove over to Missoula recently to drop off the work. Such a beautiful contemporary art gallery.
Four new paintings are headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming! These paintings are available through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson! I have been working with this gallery for ages, excited to get new work to them.
Work continues, patterns reveal. Painting is always an exploration with endless potential like the best things in life.
