I am finally getting to some 24″x24″ paintings. There is a lot more freedom with all that space!
Continuing on with desolate landscapes and waterscapes. I have decided to call my January show “The Beauty of Nothing”, seems to sum it all up nicely.

Open Spaces
A collection of four recent paintings. These are all 16″x16″ acrylic paintings on plexiglass. I have just switched over to a 24″ format and plan on painting a number of 36″ pieces as well. Ramping up for a show in January which no longer sounds very far off!
Flow
The first 16″x16″ painting I have done for a while. It is nice to have a bit more room and surface to play with. I will be painting a bunch of these and some much larger paintings soon as well.
Distance
10″x10″ acrylicpainting. This will officially do it for small works for the near future. Time is feeling very short until the next show, I am doing a bunch of 16″x16″ paintings and working up from there. I need a time machine!
River Flows
A nocturnal image inspired by Kootenai Wildlife Refuge. We took a weekend trip up there and enjoyed the big open valley and mountain ranges.
This acrylic painting is another in my small 10″x10″ series I have been on too long.
Two works
A couple of mood pieces I recently completed. Both paintings are 10″x10″acrylic.
I spent much of the morning prepping some more boards and starting on a new image.
I am trying to organize the attic space so that it is an easier space in which to work. Dark and cold it is still a place I love to be!
Delicate Light
Continuing in with my small studies. I have now moved my painting location from a shed (torn down) to a crazily dark and often cold attic space. This is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting I recently painted by dim light. I need to move onto to much larger paintings for a show I have early next year… I have also introduced more lamps and a small heater so hoping I can get a lot done above the house!
Autumn Sun
Autumn is here, somehow another summer slipped away. I decided to celebrate the change of season with a study in autumn light. This semi abstracted landscape is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting.
Pend Oreille Inspired
Four 10″x10″ acrylic paintings inspired by my new home water in North Idaho!
Transitions
It is hard not to let my surroundings dictate my imagery. I’m wrapped up in the beauty of North Idaho, currently a huge inspiration. I’m not one to feel like simply capturing reality is the ultimate goal but for now it’ll do.
