Collection of works that are at my Vashon Island Exhibit. Show opening is this Friday! These are the only four paintings of this dimension so it was fun to put them together just before I wrapped them for the trip. They are actually hung like this in the gallery but rotated by one… I had nothing to do with it!
The show is at the Vashon Center for the Arts from 6:00-9:00pm. Time to hop on a ferry!

One of my paintings that will be on display at Vashon Center for the Arts. Today I will finally be dropping off all of my paintings!
A bit more color glaze and this one is now finished. Signed, varnished and framed in a floater. Packed up for my show on Vashon Island.
This tall painting is bound for my upcoming show on Vashon Island. Inspired by the shocking beauty of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park.
Some new prints available at http://www.minted.com
It is fun to play around with sizes and framing options on their website!

Some small pieces while I wrap up some very large work. It is difficult for me to focus strictly on framing and varnishing… had to squeeze in a little painting.
Today I am finalizing this painting. Still a ridiculous amount to get done for my upcoming exhibit on Vashon Island. The show opens October 4th but I have to deliver everything in one week. Lots of driving and even a ferry ride involved in this voyage. It has been a number of years since I have been on Vashon Island so I am sure it will be a fun little road trip.
I am frantically varnishing and finalizing paintings for my upcoming show. I need to deliver it in less than one week!
In the meantime I sold a couple of small paintings so I am boxing them up today. I was going to bring them to my exhibit but you have to take sales when you can. I have turned down a few sales recently on some of the bigger pieces going to the show but these two are small so what the heck.
I am a constant observer of the sky and water. Trying to capture the feeling of those magical fleeting moments.
Well it’s the weekend everybody! Actually for me it’s just another morning in the studio. I really wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am preparing work for my Vashon Island exhibit opening October 4th. I am also playing around with some small semi haunted forest paintings.
