Painting time was pretty limited this summer. I focused on small paintings that I could finish in shorter work windows. I finally used my last small panel!

Along the Edge
This painting has a real presence, and feels like something “new”. I am chasing ideas and following the paint into darker country. March 2025 will be my next solo show, it will be at Haven Gallery in Long Island, New York.
Disappearing
A new small painting completed this week. An ode to summer.
A Little Water
Three small water paintings freshly completed. I am putting together a pretty good collection of small works. Painting time has been pretty limited over the summer so these smaller pieces have been my focus. I work with a number of galleries that have “small works shows” in the fall. So I will be sending these smaller paintings all over the country in the coming months.
Moonshine
A new nocturne painting in the studio. I really love the mood of this piece. I might pursue some larger variations on this theme.
Hidden
I am working on three of these unusual paintings. Dark, brooding and mysterious. I am continuing my summer of modest sized works, looking forward to scaling up in the fall.
Next March I will be having a solo show at Haven Gallery in New York. Many ideas and much work ahead! Stay tuned.
Passing (revisit)
This moody stormy painting was always a favorite. It is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina!

Mood
I am obsessed with moody landscapes. The feeling of vastness in stark contrast with your own limitations as a human.
This planet is filled with inspiration. I like mine a little haunted.
On and On
A new seascape in the studio. Much of the subtlety doesn’t make it across in photographs, a common complaint I know. After working on so many tiny paintings this summer it was nice to give myself some larger space to explore.

Always chasing light and atmosphere in my work. This one at a small scale.
I am continuing to work on smaller works for fall shows. The summer is rolling past at an astonishing pace.
