New work happening in the studio. As you can see through the window I am living in snow country. These winter days are a great time to stay in and dedicate myself to painting. It is really what I want to be doing with most of my time anyway.

LA Art Show
Ten miniatures with gold leaf edges are at Abend Gallery and will be on display at the LA Art Show. I also have two larger paintings that will part of the exhibit.
Abend contacted me months ago and asked me to provide paintings for the exhibit. So happy to participate!
Rise Above (Abend Gallery)
One of twelve new paintings shipped to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. This one sat in my studio for much of the year, nearly finished… now it is done and gone, just like the year.
Higher 🔴
I was happy to learn that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I believe it was the last of my paintings available at the gallery.
Salted Sand (SOLD)
I have this one varnished, framed and boxed up. Tomorrow I will be shipping it to it new home in Minnesota… snows permitting.
Turn to Yesterday 🔴
I sent this painting to Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It sold very quickly to an art enthusiast in Washington D.C.
I had been saving this large piece for my coming solo show but making a living isn’t easy. I have to sell some work as I go. I am so grateful to the galleries and collectors that help me keep this ship afloat.
Drift Beyond
I was happy to learn that this painting sold through Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina.
Getting Framed (Loon Song)
Here I am installing a floater frame on a painting that was recently purchased. A silly little video that gives you a behind the scenes look at some of the additional work involved with my job.
The Gift
A new painting inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille. I am saving this one for my June 2022 solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon! As usual I am starting to put work aside and focus my efforts. Every show I want to be my best, it will be tough to beat this years at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, N.C. (I swear I will).
Miniatures for Abend
I am putting together a collection of 10 miniature paintings for Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They will be traveling to LA for an art show with the gallery.
The wooden edges on these boards is 1.5” thick so I decided to coat them with gold leaf. It ended up being a beautiful decision but my studio has a lot of gold stuck to the floor.
