Endless inspiration at the days conclusion. Nature in general is a constant source of enthusiasm, a precious well. I have prepared a number of 18” wood panels, more to come!

Lake Pend Oreille has been a constant source of inspiration in my painting for nearly eight years. The shifting atmospherics through the seasons fills me with enthusiasm. The weather can be pretty rough but the studio stays warmish.

A new atmospheric painting on the easel. I had prepared six 12” panels that are my current focus in the studio. Next week I will be moving on to some larger work.

A new painting, this one was created as a diptych. It is more impactful as a stand alone image so that is how I will keep it. I love the atmosphere and simplicity of this piece.

This new painting is now complete. I love painting dramatic sky scapes and seascapes. I still need to sign, varnish and frame so a bit more to do. If I end up shipping this to a client or gallery that is another step!

A new painting on the easel in my studio today! I continue my obsession with atmosphere, light and lakes of the north. I wish I could hold onto the moments and feelings. Painting is the only way I know.

I was pleased to learn that this misty seascape was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.


I am continuing to capture the feelings of February. The daylight is stretching and our winter snow is receding. I know winter has not finished with us.

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!
