Winter came raging in though Fall is still at work. Time is short on hours, less this time of year. Monochromatic winter looms and palettes shift.

Solitude (Denver)
This painting is at Abend Gallery in Denver. I am currently working on a few pieces this size. There is such a sense of dread and doom, I am pushing forward. Create my greatest work, for myself.
Two for Missoula
Two recent favorites now at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I sent them a collection of six. I would really love to checkout the gallery. They have built a beautiful new gallery in a great location.
With snow on the roads it’s better just to stay in the studio for now.
Big Beyond (in Montana)
Final shot of this powerful piece, headed to Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. This is the largest painting in a collection of five that just reached the gallery!
Long Before (final)
Wrapping up some studio photography. Final shot of this cloudscape.
October Morning
Rain and fall leaves, I had an unexpected urge to represent the season.
Patterns of Time
Wave and light exploration on a canvas panel. The movement of light through the surface of water is hypnotics and soothing to watch. I strive to echo that quality in a simplified and expressive manner.
National Bison Range
With a weekend journey down the highway to the National Bison Range, it seemed appropriate to post this final capture of “Tatanka”. It was inspired by a previous outing to this beautiful part of Montana. The painting is now at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
Whidbey
My most recent commission. I have a much larger commission next in line.
Warming Light (home)
I procrastinate varnishing work. It’s maybe a psychological thing but once something is varnished it is truly done. Even a painting like this one that I really like and won’t change… haven’t varnished it. It takes a sale or an upcoming show to force my hand. That just adds unnecessary pressure down the line. Yeah, it sounds like a psychological issue.
