A large new painting in the studio today. I purchased five pf the big cradled wood panels. Excited to be painting highly atmospheric landscapes.

Chaos and Beauty (SOLD)
I was happy to hear that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. This is an amazing art gallery in a really cool artistic community.
Finale
Endless inspiration at the days conclusion. Nature in general is a constant source of enthusiasm, a precious well. I have prepared a number of 18” wood panels, more to come!
Transcending (looking back)
This is an older painting that I sold three years ago. This time of year I am looking at past work as I begin work for the new year. I am always experimenting and trying to create something unique, beautiful and emotional.
Silver and Gold
Fall is a gorgeous time of year, also a bit melancholy. The color and lighting of the season is incredibly inspiring. It pulls me away from the work I was planning. More autumnal images to come.
Silence
A new painting on the easel for Labor Day weekend. Reflecting the seasons change, nothing stays the same. I believe I only have one more 18”x24” board left to paint on… such a fun size.
Chaos and Beauty (revisited)
With summer quickly winding down I’ve got those mixed feelings that come with a shift in season. Visitors will begin dropping off and the weather will cool. It’s the passing of time that brings a bit of melancholy. The tiny bit of me that is optimistic is excited to dig deep in the studio. The cooler weather is much better for acrylic painting… perhaps the greatest work ahead.
Freedom Colors
A new seascape on the easel today. I was thinking about Ukraine and the horror visited upon them. This world has a lot of darkness, I try to seek the light, it’s not always easy.
Passing
A new painting on the easel. This is a great size to work at. As a child I would have considered it a huge painting. I am painting a lot of boards this size with plans for larger work ahead.
Closer
I put the final layer of color on this dramatic new piece. This painting has taken most of the week to create, worth the time.
