This painting has a bit of a haunted and desolate feeling. I am always grateful when the is an emotional resonance with a piece. The vibe seems appropriate for these waning autumn days.

Two in Wyoming
I was pleased to hear that these two paintings were sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They go back a few years, good to remember them and remind myself how things have moved with time.
Slipping Away
Dramatic low light of the season has resulted in some gorgeous sunsets on Lake Pend Oreille. It is sad to say goodbye to the warm weather but I am enjoying all of the beauty of the season. Preparing more 18” x 24” boards for new work.
Seasons End
I am continuing my efforts on small panels. Exploring ideas and moods before moving onto larger format paintings. Stay tuned!
Grand (final)
I did a major rework of this painting from last fall.
September Fade
More small paintings in the studio. This one was inspired by a great September road trip last weekend. Fall brings beauty and melancholy.
I will continue working on these small pieces and see where they take me.
Journey of Light
I am digging in and getting it after. Starting with small concepts so that I can work on bigger pieces in the dark months. This piece has a lot of intriguing qualities worth further exploration! My next solo show is spring 2026 so I will be very busy.
Sun Season (finished)
I revisited and finished this painting just as the sun season is heading out the door. It always brings me down thinking of the expansive darkness ahead.
Missoula Three
Three colorful pieces in the “Fathom” exhibit. Show wraps September 6th at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
Springs Promise (Missoula)
This is a special piece to me. I held onto it for a couple years as it felt so alive and inspiring in the studio. It is now framed and available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana!
