My two finished cow portraits. Today I am shipping them to the little pink house gallery for a Fall show. The LPHG is a small gallery in North Idaho. I usually send them paintings a couple times per year. This LPHG and Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana are the closest galleries I work with.

For people not familiar with me and my work I made a grid. Six of these nine paintings were done in 2019. I have been painting my entire life but have been painting full time now for exactly one year. Thanks to those of you that have helped support my efforts!
This small painting is all finished up. I varnished it, cleaned up the edges and hung the hardware over the weekend. Now packing it up for the long journey to Italy. I spent a few months in Siena, Italy while I was in college in the 90’s… when the world was young.
Atmosphere and light, they take me there.
Painting a couple of cow portraits for a semi local Idaho gallery.
Studio shot of this painting which is part of my show at the Vashon Center for the Arts. The exhibit runs through October 26th.
I decided this little painting needed more definition. I did a bit more layering to define the shapes and added a bit more saturation.
Calling this one done. It will be part of a small works collection headed to a gallery soon!
A glimmering little echo of the morning.
The fall colors have returned and are beautiful. Snowbirds are leaving and the weather is 20 degrees below average. We already had some snow, it sounds like this winter is going to be a long one. This painting is from late January and it seems appropriate.
A dark and rainy morning as I add some layers of color to this piece. Painting with a crazy cold so I am a bit loopy. I’m not complaining.
