Transition (RiverSea)

Transition – 30”x24”, acrylic

This intense painting is framed and available at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon!

Labor Day weekend is upon us. I have some paintings to varnish and some others to frame. These days all of my work seems to go to various art galleries around the country. I am happy to have the options, very grateful to do what I love.

Shining (memory)

Shining – 14”x11”, acrylic

An older piece from a few years back. This one has that elusive magic that drives me forward. Making a living as an artist is a difficult task. More than simply earning enough to pay the bills. For me it is a calling and the core of this one and only life. I know most people don’t really understand that, even close friends.

Great Light (SOLD)

Great Light – 20”x20”, acrylic

I was happy to hear from a collector in Florida, she just purchased this painting. It was a studio favorite, really captures my favorite summer vibes on Lake Pend Oreille here in North Idaho. I recently shipped it to Moment Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. They made the sale, I am so grateful to the galleries that represent me. Sales are getting tougher these days, and I am a terrible salesperson!

When it was hanging in the studio!

Dreams (blue and summer)

Dreams in Blue – 12”x16”, acrylic
Dreams of Summer – 12”x16”, acrylic

I was very happy to learn these two paintings were sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming! With inflation and prices rising art always takes a hit… I am very grateful for my sales!

On the easel

Shine the Way (St. Augustine)

Shine the Way – 24”x36”, acrylic

This painting is now available at the Grand Bohemian Gallery in St. Augustine, Florida. This is a town and gallery I am looking forward to seeing in person… hopefully this winter. The gallery is really enthusiastic about my work, always a positive!
