Just for fun I decided to paint some some small round paintings. I started with three owl portraits, which I displayed in a previous post. On my birthday I caught a massive mackinaw (lake trout) and decided to do some trout portraits! This is the newest painting, I love the strange dark vibe. I am going to do one more portrait and then wade back into my landscape work!
Packing up this commission bound for Washington D.C. It makes the exterior of my studio look more like Cannon Beach than North Idaho!
I sold this painting through Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento. It was part of my solo show in February of this year.
Raising Earth (detail)
16”x20” acrylic
I spent some more time capturing photos of recent work. This one is still a favorite of mine.
What’s in a name? Nothing or maybe everything… this painting seems to call out it’s name.
A lovely little painting from just about a year ago. This painting now resides in California.
This painting is now in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at Horizon Fine Art Gallery. It is a strange feeling spending so much time on a collection of paintings, pouring yourself into them. Box them up and they are out of your life forever. The same can be said for people that come and go from a life though mostly without the boxing (inevitable there too).
The sun is breaking free of the clouds now. Happy Tuesday, I am onto other projects!
The sun is hiding behind the clouds today. It seemed ideal for photography so I took part of the morning to photograph some art.
Abend Gallery in Denver wanted a high resolution photograph of this recent painting.
Now that there are just a few tiny patches of snow lingering in the shadows, my last winter scene. This is the smallest of the work I will be shipping to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
