This painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I often don’t know about sales until a check shows up in my mailbox. It is always a pleasant surprise to receive a check rather than the usual “endless parade” of bills.
This painting is part of my solo exhibit “Dreams Between Darkness” at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The exhibit runs through July 5th!
Bringing it back home today with a new painting in the studio. Inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. I always think of this as my home water. It has been for more than 6 years now.
Final studio capture of this dramatic cloudscape. I am still putting together my solo show collection, photographing some of the finished pieces.
I am working on a couple large cloudscapes. I like brooding work that is both beautiful and a bit surreal. I think of these works as psychological paintings or dreamscapes.
This painting is fairly shimmering with golden light. More inspiration from the landscape surrounding me in North Idaho.
A bit of melancholy with the loss of summer light. I am excited to see neighbors fleeing for the south. A silent winter is a painting paradise.
This painting is part of a collection of work now available through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming.
Another 12” square on my easel. Priming a huge number of wood panels was definitely a good idea. I want to spend my time painting without all the prep work between moments at the easel.
Time is grinding us all back to star dust. I wish I could stockpile the good days.
I was pleased to learn that this large painting sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. This piece is one of my favorites, photographs didn’t do it justice.
Another dreamscape painting for my rapidly approaching solo show. The show will be at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The show opens July 2nd!
