New painting in the studio this morning. I am continuing to work on small panels in my scattered summer days. When fall rolls around I will be working on large work based on my favorite ideas.

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.
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!
Through Darkness (with me)
A photo of me with “Through Darkness” just before I shipped it to Momentum Gallery. This painting is part of my solo show on view through June 22nd in Asheville, North Carolina.
August Glow
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.
Mahalo
A new painting on the studio today. The clouds in this piece are relatively simple but utterly hypnotic. A little bit of Hawaii to brighten the day.
Higher
A new small painting, finished in the studio today. I have been working on far too many paintings simultaneously so it was nice to step away and paint something small that could be finished relatively quickly.

I snuck off to the studio a bit over the weekend. This small cloudscape was the fruit of my efforts. I will start the week with a bit more time dedicated to the sky above.
Lucidity
I am finishing this new painting in the studio today. It is a dangerously cold day in North Idaho, and not warm at all in my studio. That being said I am always happy to spend the day painting.
Thunder (RIP 2023)
My final post of 2023. One of my favorite recent works. A celebration of mother nature and the beauty of the Northwest!
