Something special in this one. I am always chasing that emotional connection in my work. It continues to drive me on.
I am really excited to be back in the studio after a vacation down to warmer country. The studio is the one place where possibilities seem endless. It is difficult and frustrating but still an escape from the crush of life.
A new painting in the studio today. I am really happy to be back working at a slightly bigger scale!
Things have been pretty heavy. Trying to enjoy the light and the days. Here are a couple scenes from home.
The Shadow Land
I invite you to step into The Shadow Land, my solo exhibition where I explore the
emotional landscapes of psychological isolation, beauty, and dreams. Through my
latest paintings, I aim to create a space where light and shadow come together,
revealing the delicate tension between solitude and the quiet beauty that resides
within. In these paintings, dreams are not just a form of escape, but a way of engaging
with the deeper recesses of the self.
The Shadow Land is not just an exhibition for me; it’s a personal journey I share with
you, inviting you to explore the emotional depths of the human experience. In the
quietest moments, we often find the most profound beauty.
These are just a few of the 15 featured new paintings in the show!
This small surreal piece is part of my upcoming show “The Shadowland”. The exhibit opens tomorrow at Haven Gallery!
I really love this painting, one of my most recent pieces for my upcoming solo show. The exhibit is called “The Shadowland” it opens March 29th at Haven Gallery.
I was pleased to learn that a couple of older paintings were sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
The moon is always so beautiful, such an intriguing subject. I wanted to capture the last fade of sunlight as the night takes over the hours. I just finished this piece, it may be part of my upcoming solo show, decision time is at hand.
I did a small quick painting of this idea a little while back. It appealed to me so I decided to paint this larger more refined version. Something a bit different from my landscape work, I dig it.
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.
