Another autumnal painting inspired by North Idaho. The leaves have pretty much all fallen now. I was meaning to do more fall imagery, maybe I will do some larger ones as the seasons change.

Fall Reflections
Chasing the beautiful colors of fall. I decided I had better try to capture just a little of the fall magic. The colors have been stunning and quickly shifting by the day.
Vashon Island
Vashon Center for the Arts
I closed out my show in Western Washington. A lot of travel and time away from the studio. Great excuse to see family and friends.
Kootenai Valley
Two small works inspired by a scenic part of North Idaho. It is fun exploring more of the landscape I have moved into. Every mini road trip brings something new!
even the moonlight is blinding
The moon always a powerful presence in the sky, night or day. It seemed like a good excuse to post the last few lines from a great song by an amazing songwriter…

Small Paintings
I had to ship out these 19 little guys on my lunch break today. They are off to a “small painting” show. Hopefully they find their way to the proper place!
Gloom & Yellow
A simple cloudscape that I completed the other day. This one has a lot of subtle character that was difficult to capture with the camera.
Golden
A pretty simple little painting with some textural experiments that seemee a bit intriguing. More continuation on the moody landscapes.
Happy Halloween!
A lot of my work tends to be autumnal. This one in particular seems appropriate for a Halloween post. The subject is a monkey skull in an old iPhone box. The juxtaposition seems to say it all.
Decomposing Light
I have done a lot of small paintings around the theme of decomposing light. Using the interplay of texture and color to convey that sense of daylight transition to darkness. I recently took some photographs of some that I am preparing to send to a miniature show. For this show they can be 6″x6″ as the largest dimensions. These also aren’t the hyper-realistic, super detailed type of paintings that true miniature painters make. They are simply small but mighty?
