I have spent this week painting some small work. It is very satisfying finishing these little pieces so quickly, a bit of a break. I will be buying more small boards to work out ideas for larger paintings.

The High Light
A new painting I finished shortly before the Christmas Holiday. Love the feel of this piece, I definitely plan to pursue more work with this atmospheric feel.
Between
The sun is elusive this time of year, dramatic when it appears. Constant inspiration in my North Idaho home.
There are many paintings in the works today in my studio. I am really getting into the groove, one of the better feelings to have as an artist.
Darkening
Dark psychological landscapes are always an intriguing subject. I just finished this piece, definitely echoing the vibe. It grows darker by the day.
Giants
I have always loved watching clouds and weather systems rolling through. I very often find myself echoing nature in my studio, it is the heart of my work.
This is one of the many small paintings I have done in the last couple months. Today I am moving onto my first 18” x 24” painting in a number of months. Excited to get back to a larger scale.
Light Embrace (Asheville)
This painting is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It combines some of my favorite elements, dynamic light, clouds and atmospheric landscape… plus water of course! Endless inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho.
Towers
A new painting in the studio today. This large vertical painting captures the Lake Pend Oreille mood of late spring. I love watching the atmospheric qualities shift on the lake, it was the inspiration.
Ascend
A new painting in the studio today. It is always a strange feeling when you have shipped a years worth of work to a show. I dive back in and do what I do.
Whisper Dawn
A large new painting in the studio today. I purchased five pf the big cradled wood panels. Excited to be painting highly atmospheric landscapes.
Light Embrace
Painting atmosphere and light is always a huge focus in my work. This new painting has a great bit of mood. Really nice size board to paint on as well.
