I varnished, framed and packed four new paintings. They are heading to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They will be part of a small works exhibition, really pleased to be included. It is a great gallery, I had a solo show at the gallery in 2020.
I really love this painting, I will probably let it hang around the studio for a little while. The title and vibe precisely capture my feelings this time of year. The daylight dwindles and the temperature plummet. The studio feels extra isolated with the snowbirds long gone. It feels grim and a bit exciting. The studio is my haven, dig in and of course dig out.
Painting time was pretty limited this summer. I focused on small paintings that I could finish in shorter work windows. I finally used my last small panel!
A photo of me with “Through Darkness” just before I shipped it to Momentum Gallery. This painting is part of my solo show on view through June 22nd in Asheville, North Carolina.
Another look at this autumnal painting, available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
Final studio image of this painting. Now it is hanging with the rest of my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The exhibit opens today!
Burning Hours has been framed and shipped, on its way to Asheville, North Carolina. One of twenty paintings in my soon to open solo show at Momentum Gallery.
I will miss seeing these paintings in the studio, it is suddenly very empty and boring. Back to work, much more painting ahead of me.
This painting is on its way to Asheville, North Carolina. One of twenty paintings in my upcoming solo show opening May 9th at Momentum Gallery.
This painting has been hanging around my studio “nearly finished” for a long while. It is now complete and will be framed with so many other paintings heading to my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina! I will post more information as the show gets ever closer.
A new painting on the studio today. The clouds in this piece are relatively simple but utterly hypnotic. A little bit of Hawaii to brighten the day.
