I am taking some high resolution studio photos of recent work. This hopeful painting is willfully contrary to all the dark news. I wish I could focus on the gifts in life.
The Gift (final)
Tag: beauty
Moonlight
More nocturnal painting happening in the studio. Outside the wind is howling and everything is frozen. The moon is beautiful yet indifferent.
January Blanket (shipped)
This one has shipped to its new home in Colorado. I am pretty selective regarding commissions I take, this was a fun one.
Over Hope
Latest painting, moon as inspiration. Nocturnal paintings are always interesting to work on. This one was inspired by my part of the world.
Update: this one was just sold, good news as I ordered more art supplies and frames yesterday.
Rainbow Clouds
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.
Splendor
This painting was sold through Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento four years ago. It was part of a big solo exhibit I had, first one to sell out. The show was in February and it took forever to come home with snow related flight cancellations and scary driving… aside from the travel it was a wonderful experience!
Guiding
I have been painting some small winter scenes which have been a satisfying expression of the season. There is a lot of winter left, no doubt there will be more snowscapes.
Solace
New work happening in the studio. As you can see through the window I am living in snow country. These winter days are a great time to stay in and dedicate myself to painting. It is really what I want to be doing with most of my time anyway.
Greet the Dawn
A new painting in the studio today. This one is lighting up my work space.
I really like these 24”x36” panels, so much so I am prepping four other boards this size at the moment!
Dawning (reels)
This painting is now availability through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
