This is a 14″x11″ acrylic painting I recently completed. I am playing around with some relatively small paintings while I prepare a large board for a commission.

Studio Wall
Fun to hang some paintings up temporarily on the studio wall. Some of these were part of a commission and have now moved out.
I installed some rails to hang paintings on which will help keep the studio organized and more easily allow me to observe my recent works.
Silence
One of the four 24″x24″ Lake Pend Oreille paintings I recently completed on commission.
Beginnings
This is another 24″x24″ painting I very recently completed as part of a commission.
Bold lighting elements and soft moody atmospheric work is seemingly simple but is very challenging to paint with acrylic and open acrylic paint.
I am drawn to enigmatic imagery and though this subject is straight forward it still has a bit of mystery…. that’s what it’s all about for me.
Commissions
Gathering up some paintings in my studio that were commissions. I painted four 24″x24″ paintings for a great family that has a house on Lake Pend Oreille. Painting these was a real pleasure knowing they would be hanging lakeside on this beautiful North Idaho lake.
I will be posting more images of the four paintings along with two additional paintings very soon!
Endings
One of the six large water paintings I have been busily working on. They are all 24″x24″.
Studio Work
I have been busy balancing my time and mostly burning up the too few summer days. This is a photo of the clean portion of my studio!
I am working on a pretty exciting commission, four big water paintings (24″x24″) inspired by Lake Pend Oreille. Hoping to have them finished by the weekend, this is one of four.
Summer Sun
This is another small painting (8″x8″). Reducing everything down to the simple basics of sunshine and water.
It is summer after all! There are only so many for each of us, word is less every year…
Big Skies
Three 10″x8″ cloud paintings I recently completed.
The balance of strength and subtly of large atmospheric skies is endlessly intriguing to me.
Idaho water
My sister and brother in law made the treck to North Idaho to visit over the 4th of July weekend. We had a lot of fun on the water enjoying the rewards of summer.
I sent her home with a couple of paintings she was fond of!
