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.
My newest nocturne painting in the studio. This is the third painting in this series on 18” cradled wood panels.
I new nocturnal painting on a square cradled 18” wood panel.
This one was painted using a limitation color palette, maximum mood. I use a limited palette always, primary colors plus magenta. They were mixed down to a narrow spectrum for this painting.
We woke up to snow this morning, to mark the start of December. I thought I would mark the occasion with a small winter painting from 2022. This one was sold to a collector. I am also attaching a video from my morning hike, such a change overnight!
I am painting a few miniatures at the moment. This time of year demands warmth!
I have eight new paintings available now at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. An incredibly beautiful contemporary art gallery in the heart of downtown Missoula. I had not had work available through Radius for a number of years… good to be back!
Inspiration from a gorgeous fall on Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. It has been a warm and colorful autumn in my neck of the woods. A windstorm cleared out a lot of the leaves but I’m not done with them just yet.
A new colorful painting in the studio this morning. I have six 12”x12” panels and I am dedicating them all to water imagery.
Fall, entering the dark season. It brings some melancholy with the beauty. Chasing the vibe on some small panels.
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.
