An abstracted and bit surreal painting in the studio. Some of the subtleties of the mark making are lost in static images so I posted a video today.
The summer solstice, hang onto this light.

Signals (Haven Gallery)
A video of “Signals” hanging at Haven Gallery in Long Island, New York. This is part of my ongoing solo show “The Shadowland”.
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!
Giants
I have always loved watching clouds and weather systems rolling through. I very often find myself echoing nature in my studio, it is the heart of my work.
This is one of the many small paintings I have done in the last couple months. Today I am moving onto my first 18” x 24” painting in a number of months. Excited to get back to a larger scale.
Moonshine
A new nocturne painting in the studio. I really love the mood of this piece. I might pursue some larger variations on this theme.
On and On
A new seascape in the studio. Much of the subtlety doesn’t make it across in photographs, a common complaint I know. After working on so many tiny paintings this summer it was nice to give myself some larger space to explore.
Burnout
Continuing work on my small paintings this summer. Starting to get a real collection of these works. They are bound to grow come winter…
Light Embrace (Asheville)
This painting is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It combines some of my favorite elements, dynamic light, clouds and atmospheric landscape… plus water of course! Endless inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho.
Rush of Time
This summer I am busy working on some smaller paintings. Trying to find a balance of summer fun with family and friends and my studio obsession. Small works are a great way to explore ideas, the best ones will inspire larger paintings in the future.
Evening Lullaby
Newly finished piece, this painting was a commission arranged by Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I also had the pleasure of meeting the new owners!
