Abend Gallery (new work)

Far Away (reworked!)
A new painting in my studio. I am putting together a collection of work for a July show at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
Ebb
An abstracted and bit surreal painting in the studio. Some of the subtleties of the mark making are lost in static images so I posted a video today.
The summer solstice, hang onto this light.
WIP
Currently working on this piece in the studio. Layering colors and working with values to create the light.
Rolling On
I am very fond of this little painting. It will probably end up at a small works show this fall, or I might hang onto it.
Every fall galleries reach out asking for small works. I generally am ill prepared but this year I am squirreling small pieces away… sometimes I learn.
Sun Season
A new painting in my Idaho studio. I am so excited for the long days of summer.
Rainbow Flow (sold)
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon!
Grand Mystery
A new dramatic painting. Exploring the magic and the mystery.
I love heavy atmosphere and dramatic lighting. The subject is endlessly fascinating and exciting to me. It always feels spiritual and intriguing.
Weight of Years
A bit of crimson and gray on the easel, perhaps a dragon. I am continuing my work on 18” x 24” panels, very fun scale to work at.
I have show coming up this summer at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I have a long way to go, not a lot of time.
Rocky Shore
A dramatic new painting in the studio. I have been working on this piece along with two others for a while. They have been evolving together in intriguing ways.
All three of these paintings are on aluminum panels that have been primed and prepared for painting. I have used various brands off and on, need more of these!
