A new seascape on the easel today. I was thinking about Ukraine and the horror visited upon them. This world has a lot of darkness, I try to seek the light, it’s not always easy.

Echo of Time
I just finished this new cloudscape painting. One of my favorite aspects of summer is hanging out on the deck watching clouds roll across the lake. it never grows old and always inspires.
Evening Glow
A new painting, this one was completed over the weekend. Summer tends to get busy with visitors and all the distractions beautiful weather brings. I am trying to carve out as much time to paint as I am able. I always want to be in the studio, I feel restless and adrift when I am not.
Crown of White (SOLD)
I was pleased to hear that this painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. Great gallery, I had a solo show there in 2020 but at the height of Covid it became online only. Hopefully I can visit the gallery at some point, maybe my next show?
Electric Collection
Sometimes it’s nice to dive into a subject and paint a series. These boards had been hanging around since winter and the summer storms inspired the series. I might to a big take on one of these or maybe not.
Passing
A new painting on the easel. This is a great size to work at. As a child I would have considered it a huge painting. I am painting a lot of boards this size with plans for larger work ahead.
Strike
A new painting, inspired by summer storms. We desperately need rain but it always tends to come with electricity!
Crossing
Summer is so gorgeous in North Idaho on Lake Pend Oreille. It is a constant source of inspiration and excitement. I particularly like days when moody clouds drift across the lake. Summer is far to short.
Range
I bit of inspiration from a Montana road trip. I live in a pretty part of the country. It is a short drive to other beautiful places too!
Working Artist
I am fortunate to be working with some great galleries around the country. Horizon Fine Art Gallery is one of the wonderful places that sells my work. The gallery is located in Jackson Hole, one of the prettiest places in the world. In the last month I have sold seven pieces through the art gallery! I am ordering more frames and finishing more art, hope to get more work there soon.
