We have been buried in snow for months with months to go. I enjoy the scenery but it can also be difficult… paying my respects to the winter.

Summer Dreams
A sunny little piece of sunshine here in the midst of winter.
Greet the Dawn
A new painting in the studio today. This one is lighting up my work space.

9 from Doodle in 21
These small paintings are from a bonus instagram account named cult_of_doodle. Last year I was using left over paint at the end of the day and painting little images without planning.

Color Box Water (revisit)
As I work on paintings for my solo show in June, I am thinking about my previous exhibit at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. “Color Box Water” was special, it was never on the maybe list for that show (All of the paintings were sold at the gallery).
I am working on a lot of large pieces for the next exhibit. I am also taking a step back from shipping all of my work away to a variety of galleries and or selling as I paint. I am going to assemble a powerful collection and carefully decide what goes and stays. The next solo show is in June, 2022 at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
House of Light
A studio video to show off this small painting.
Getting Framed (Loon Song)
Here I am installing a floater frame on a painting that was recently purchased. A silly little video that gives you a behind the scenes look at some of the additional work involved with my job.
