I am pretty fond of this piece. It is a really common subject for me but it is one I truly love. I am thankful I have time to spend painting, trying not to waste it.
There will be more unusual paintings in the near future as I work towards my March solo show. This painting will not be at that show. This one is bound for a gallery, not sure which one just yet.
Yesterday I shipped off this new painting to an art collector in Massachusetts! The buyer chose no frame but rather gold leaf edges (visible in the video). This all resulted in a lovely piece. The downside is I have gold flakes all over the studio floor.
Always chasing light and atmosphere in my work. This one at a small scale.
I am continuing to work on smaller works for fall shows. The summer is rolling past at an astonishing pace.
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.
This painting is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It is part of my ongoing solo exhibit.
The 24” square format is a pretty satisfying size to paint. Plenty of room for expression with a real sense of presence. I will definitely doing more work on these wood panels moving forward!
This painting will be available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. One of the twenty paintings in my solo show opening May 9th!
This is one of three paintings in the show on square 24” wood cradled board. I hadn’t painted panels this particular dimension since college which is an odd thing to realize.
The painting is inspired by the smoke filled skies that are far too common in Summer.
I am busy packing up 20 paintings for my solo show opening May 9th. The exhibit is at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
This is the final painting completed for my upcoming solo show. Now the busy work of photographing the 20 paintings and packing them up to ship. All of the artwork will be available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
I was pleased to hear that this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. This painting was part of a collection of six pieces on deep cradled wood panel. If you watch the video you will see that I covered the edge of the painting with gold leaf rather than framing the art. I have not done this recently. When on display it reflects a subtle gold halo on the wall depending on the room lighting.
I was happy to hear that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. This is an amazing art gallery in a really cool artistic community.
