Fall is a beautiful time of year but always a bit melancholy. Daylight getting shorter and all the more precious. It has proven especially inspiring to me this year.

Lullaby (Missoula)
I have eight new paintings available now at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. An incredibly beautiful contemporary art gallery in the heart of downtown Missoula. I had not had work available through Radius for a number of years… good to be back!
Crossing (Missoula)
This is one of eight new paintings I have available at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. It’s an incredible gallery and I am excited to have new work there once again.
I drove the collection over to Missoula yesterday! The drive was so beautiful along the Clark Fork River and then following the Flathead River east. Just a gorgeous part of the country, I hate taking a day off from the studio but it was a day of recharging and inspiration.
Range (Montana)
Inspiration from big sky country, it’s only right that I send it to a great gallery in Montana, Radius Gallery. This is one of eight pieces bound for Missoula, Montana.
Floating
A small yet mighty new painting. Celebrating the cloud breaks of autumn.
I now have two of these 12” square beauties. I will probably send them to a gallery but I am still trying to sort out what is going where.
Summer Shine (final)
I just varnished and framed this painting. It will be part of a collection of new work heading to Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. Wild – Wondrous – World is the landscape exhibit which opens in December.
Lake Dream
Lake Pend Oreille has been a constant source of inspiration in my painting for nearly eight years. The shifting atmospherics through the seasons fills me with enthusiasm. The weather can be pretty rough but the studio stays warmish.
Four to NC
I just finished framing four small paintings for a coming exhibit at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It has been too long since they had any of my paintings in stock, that will be changing! I will be having a solo show at the gallery in May, 2024.
Lakeside
Inspiration from a gorgeous fall on Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. It has been a warm and colorful autumn in my neck of the woods. A windstorm cleared out a lot of the leaves but I’m not done with them just yet.
Feeding (SOLD)
This painting was recently sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The trout portrait was part of a collection of wildlife portraits I painted in 2019. I always intended to hang onto one of these small paintings but I shipped them all away.
