I sold this after the show ended. I have discovered that Art Centers are a bad way to sell artwork. They can be a fun social event but for artists trying to make a living, I haven’t had any good experiences. Selling work through a small gallery is likely to be a better way to sell art. If you can sell work yourself no one is taking 50% of the sale!

I closed out my show in Western Washington. A lot of travel and time away from the studio. Great excuse to see family and friends.
Shipping off this UGallery sale. Fancy shipping boxes always a plus.
One of my favorite pieces, painted in late December of 2018. It started me down an exciting path of exploration. I keep myself open to ideas and am willing to pursue imagery that is compelling to me even if I know it is unlikely to be popular. The Harbinger is currently on display at the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. They have a nice little collection of my work so stop in if you are on the Oregon Coast.
This small painting is all finished up. I varnished it, cleaned up the edges and hung the hardware over the weekend. Now packing it up for the long journey to Italy. I spent a few months in Siena, Italy while I was in college in the 90’s… when the world was young.
Atmosphere and light, they take me there.
I did a bit more work on this painting, it proved to be the right decision.
Studio shot of this painting which is part of my show at the Vashon Center for the Arts. The exhibit runs through October 26th.

An ancient light casting warmth and fear. Dancing to a rhythm it blends into the night. The question lost with a crack and spark.
I decided this little painting needed more definition. I did a bit more layering to define the shapes and added a bit more saturation.
Calling this one done. It will be part of a small works collection headed to a gallery soon!
