I mounted three small water paintings I did for a water themed show at the James May Gallery. This gallery is in Algoma, Wisconsin, a beautiful part of the country. The town is in Door County, I have only been there one time but hope to go back! For now my paintings will be making the visit for me.

These three paintings are 10″x10″ acrylic/open acrylic on plexiglass. I am mounting them on deep cradled boards to give them a bigger presence!
Welcome to April!
Welcome spring! Here are some small paintings I did in the first half of March. These are all 10″x10″ acrylic paintings on plexiglass.
I am looking forward to the longer days and much more sunshine!
This afternoon I conducted my first painting workshop. I had 8 students and we spent a few hours playing with plexiglass painting. This took place at the closing of my solo show at Lewis-Clark State College.
I just posted these 10″x 10″ paintings on Ugallery. It is an art website that sells and markets artwork. They take a 50% commission but they also do help get your work seen. As paintings pile up I am starting to look at more ways to sell my work. I really enjoy having my paintings in a physical gallery but these days there are a lot of other options!
This 36″x36″ show will be part of the POAC members show in Sandpoint, Idaho. It will be on display until June 5th at the Columbia Bank in town.
Here is a collection of 10’x10′ studies I have painted this week. Lake Pend Oreille is frozen along much of it’s shoreline reluctantly giving up the ice to March. Giant clouds roll across the landscape in a constant dramatic shift. Photos don’t seem to do the beauty justice and my paintings barely hint at the spectacle…. we do what we can.
Clouds are endlessly fascinating to me, particularly when there is a bit of blue Sky visible! These three paintings are 10″x10″ cloud studies I recently finished. I am hoping to paint some large cinematic skies I the coming months, I will do a lot of small studies first!
This is a little water Study I painted last night. Summer colors ae months away from my actual surroundings!
It is 10″x10″ acrylic/open acrylic painting. Interesting watching the light shift along the surface so I made a video!
I painted a 10″x10″ water painting last night. I am attaching a video as it is interesting to see how the light plays across the surface.
This moody study is 10″x10″ acrylic.
