A new painting in celebration of summer light and the good things.
Excited to be back in the states and more importantly back in my studio. Painting is a solitary adventure I constantly crave.

Sky Electric
I am starting a new series of cloud paintings featuring a bit of electricity! I have a number of 11”x14” canvas panels and decided to do a deep dive on the subject. If I am still excited upon their completion I may do a very large painting on the theme. I follow my own enthusiasm always.
Reflections (SOLD)
I was pleased to hear that this painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. This painting is part of a “Landscape Painting” show I was invited to participate in.
Ascend to Dream (TBT)
This surreal dreamscape is framed and available through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Western Burn
A new 18”x18” painting on cradled board. I have primed and prepared 5 of these boards for new work. I can feel them calling to me as I write this.
I am eager to get back home and back to my studio to continue my work. A family medical emergency has prevented that from happening any time soon. The feeling of uncertainty is always present in life, stronger these days.
Denmark
A morning walk around Copenhagen, Denmark. It’s always interesting to spend time alone walking in a new place imagining another life. So many possibilities in this short time we have. I am not a city person, I crave nature and peaceful places but fantasies are entertaining.
Through Darkness (revisit)
Another look at this painting. A look at it in the studio in video form. I find myself “stuck” in Europe due to a family medical emergency. I was eager to get back to my work in the studio but life is filled with the unexpected.
ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum
A brief visit to Aarhus in Denmark. I was on a Viking Cruise and had an afternoon to explore this city. Not nearly enough time to see the city or the absolutely stunning art museum. it famously has a rainbow ring around the top that you can stroll through if you are not too afraid of heights!
Boy – Ron Mueck, 1999
Rivers Edge
A small painting on the easel. I love the mark making and flow that this little painting exhibits. More ideas to pursue…”
Late Times (revisit)
This emotional landscape is available through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I have found these dramatic and surreal paintings as an amazing emotional release from the endless anxiety.
