I just finished this 16″x16″ mixed media painting. I really like the mood of this particular painting.

Shadows
This is a painting I did a couple of years ago. I stumbled across it while trying to clean out my studio.
Different approaches to the same sort of imagery I still work on. I now paint almost exclusively with translucent paint. This painting is a more traditional approach with a warm under paint and opaque colors built upon that. It still has a lot of interesting translucent passages but looks a bit “overworked” to me now.
Rising
Another atmospheric painting in progress. This painting is 16″x16″.
Pack up the show
Headed back to Pendleton, Oregon to take down the “shadows of the west” show. Such a long build up for a month long exhibition! I really enjoyed the experience and the opportunity, it just went by fast like all good things do. Most of these paintings will remain in crates until the next show in late July.
Driving across the more empty portions of the state fills me with nostalgia. Seeing boats and fishermen makes me think of a lot of fun adventures gone.
It was incredibly beautiful with distant rain squalls and amazing cloud formations… I still love a good road trip!!!
Winter’s Tree
This painting is a work in progress. As the trees are growing leaves around me I am getting around to a winter tree image I have had in mind for a while!
This is a 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
Signed and Varnished
Here is a collection I have finally put the finishing touches on! The small ones are 10″x10″ and the larger ones are 16″x16″. Always interesting to group paintings together and see how they get along.
Down in the valley
This is a landscape painting I have mostly finished at this point. It is another 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
Studio Visit
Family came over this weekend. They wanted to take a look at my studio. Giving away artwork is a good way to clean out the studio!
Shoreline
This is a loose and simple painting I recently completed. It is a 16″x16″ acrylic inspired by the waterways of the Pacific Northwest!
