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.
I am fortunate to be working with some great galleries around the country. Horizon Fine Art Gallery is one of the wonderful places that sells my work. The gallery is located in Jackson Hole, one of the prettiest places in the world. In the last month I have sold seven pieces through the art gallery! I am ordering more frames and finishing more art, hope to get more work there soon.

I put the final layer of color on this dramatic new piece. This painting has taken most of the week to create, worth the time.

The finished painting of “Spring’s Promise”. I am leaning into the beauty of the lake and sunshine as our temperatures in North Idaho are suddenly skyrocketing. When I started this painting the snow was piled up, now it is in the mud 80’s… big change in a month.

This painting was sold a couple years ago through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I am currently witnessing a lot of gorgeous seas and contemplating future paintings. It has been a gift to have a long and only briefly planned voyage to the Caribbean with one of my best buddies. I definitely have been thinking about painting relentlessly, eager to get back to my work.

This is one of three paintings I have in the “La Lune III” show at Haven Gallery in Northport, New York. This painting is available!
I don’t take part in many group shows these days. I generally put everything into a solo show or ship work to galleries without a specific theme. It is a fun exercise to approach themed exhibitions and turn your thinking in a different direction.

This painting is on its way to the Grand Bohemian Gallery in Saint Augustine, Florida! I have shipped off five paintings to two separate galleries in the last week. I am still way behind on promised work…


I was pleased to learn this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Great gallery, I am happy to be working with them.

Today is the beginning of spring, at least on the calendar. This painting, appropriately titled, “Greeting Spring”. More inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille, and the changing of the season. Looking forward to lake time!
