This painting is off to it’s new home today. There is an idyllic dream quality that is compelling and surreal about this one. Like a memory that is just a little too sweet to be entirely real.

The glowing sun hides behind the forested ridge. I love that blast of light, the atmosphere charged once more as the sun is disappearing. The trees losing their details in the transition.

Atmosphere and light are always a source of inspiration. I am working on a number of paintings relating to the subtle shifts I am observing in North Idaho.

A little landscape from my neck of the woods. The natural world always providing ample drama and inspiration.

An atmospheric cloudscape I just completed. The sky is a constant source of inspiration to me!
As we march forward into fall I have noticed the changes. The sun is lower in the sky and with more clouds it has made for some glorious skies. It also hits the lake shore with startling intensity at times. This is the inspiration for my most recent works. These forest paintings are 10″x8″.




Weather systems moving across Lake Pend Oreille as Fall closes in. Intense sun and deep shadows the landscape always shifting.
The past two Thursdays I have revisited some paintings from last summer. These are each 24″x24″, I find TBT to be a bit of a lazy post but it is interesting to reflect on past work.

Art sales are always a good thing in my line of work but there is something especially thrilling about sending my work abroad. I have traveled a bit in my life but now my artwork resides in many places I have never been. It feels a little like writing my initials in wet concrete, “I was once in this world”.



Another highly atmospheric lake scene. An interesting challenge trying to suggest forest and water in the most delicate way.
