Always chasing, it is solitary work.

One of two small forest paintings I just finished painting. The western smoke seems to be seeping into my work.

This painting is part of my solo show ending tomorrow at Abend Gallery in Denver.

The smoke rolled in this weekend. I am trying to paint some better days.

Heartbreaking as it fades.

Moonlight is always a joy to see. One of the beautiful benefits of living in the country.

A little collection of moody forest paintings.

A little study of a nocturnal sky and rising moon.

This painting sold through Abend Gallery, part of my current solo show. Labor Day weekend started with a fire on the mountain I live below. Some folks lost everything and the forest caught fire, luckily it seems to be out now. I paint this sort of thing but I don’t take it lightly. Fire is amazing, beautiful and utterly terrifying.
