One of 15 paintings that will be on display as part of my solo show “The Shadowland” at Haven Gallery. This piece is small but I really love the dreamy lost feeling. The show opens March, 29th… more to come!

Bloom (revisited)
I started this painting in late December. I set it aside and just recently circled back to the piece. It is now finished, even signed which proves it!
The Autopilot
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.
Big Empty (SOLD)
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The town had a brutal year and I am so glad Momentum Gallery weathered the storm and grateful they represent me.
Autopilot
I spent some time this weekend continuing my experimentation and exploration. I am always looking for something new, beautiful and intriguing. I don’t want to endlessly crank out “pretty pictures”. Even in my most tranquil scenes I always try to have something more soulful and meaningful. I had posted “wicked” as a video prior to this painting, someone messaged and asked “why are you wasting your time???”. My entire life is perhaps a waste of time viewed from that lofty vantage. Ultimately I am always following my enthusiasms and curiosities. Painting doesn’t make much sense in general but it is my passion and obsession!
Wicked
I have 9 small panels prepared. Decided to spend a bit of time painting with no specific imagery in mind. This is always a useful exercise, always plan to do this more. will see if anything interesting evolves…
Darkening
Dark psychological landscapes are always an intriguing subject. I just finished this piece, definitely echoing the vibe. It grows darker by the day.
Echoing Time
This painting had the proper vibe for this last day of October. I am always trying to find something that blends beautiful and haunting . Either way, happy Halloween.
On and On (revisit)
I posted this painting a while back but wasn’t entirely happy with it. A bit more saturation and detail and now it is complete!
Small Works (Abend Gallery)
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.
