Clouds and light continue to fascinate and inspire. This is an energetic take inspired by the morning sun.

March of Time
Another 12” square on my easel. Priming a huge number of wood panels was definitely a good idea. I want to spend my time painting without all the prep work between moments at the easel.
Time is grinding us all back to star dust. I wish I could stockpile the good days.
Old and New
I sold this large painting through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I will be returning to the gallery in June 2022 for a new solo exhibit at the gallery! in the meantime I am trying to finish up some new pieces for the gallery to tide them over (ugh that pun).
Summer Rain
From my studio I can see smoke tendrils rising from the mountains. Larger plumes of smoke in the area are adding to the constant pollution. We were fortunate to get a couple days of rain recently. It was magical and smelled so good. I didn’t want it to stop.
Tranquility (surrounded)
I peaceful little lake painting surrounded by a chaotic mix of studio paintings from 2021.
As The Sea 🔴
This painting sold at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It is part of my ongoing exhibit that will run through September 8th.
Vantage
I am continuing to paint some modest sized panels I have prepped. Slowly building a collection of paintings that I will be sending out to a few select galleries in the coming months.
Morning
A small painting on the easel in my studio today. I am working on a number of smaller pieces at the moment. Larger work will follow.
Chasing
I am busy painting in the studio. This one is brand new. I have primed and prepped a lot of fairly small panels and am diving in.

I often think of myself as a painter of psychological landscapes. As much as I hate to label myself this is a description I have found suits my enthusiasms and interests. Painting is only worthwhile if it is in pursuit of some larger meaning, that is what keeps me digging.
