Shadowed
Darkness lurks along the edge. The brightest day may bloom from night. Left on a forgotten road it always finds the way.

Dark Thoughts
It is a stream darkly meandering.
Negativity eroding the shore.
Stay dry, the current is strong.

I often hear about Holiday depression. This year I seem to be feeling it. A terrible dread and sense of hopelessness. Perhaps it is a chemical thing. Maybe something to do with the sun failing to rise above the hill. I posted something regrettable last night on WordPress, I am sorry for that. I hope everyone is doing well this Holiday Season.

I took a proper photo of this finished painting. This one is only 12″x12″, I definitely plan on doing larger works with this moody atmosphere.

In my life I have felt like a negative soul. Still it seems the act of creation is an act of optimism.

A brooding forest scene. Experimenting with some new ideas.

North Idaho is a heavily timbered part of the country. I am beginning work on a series that pays tribute to the forest. Of course I will be working on many other things as I can not help it.
Dark Pictures
I paint a dark picture. Seeking light I have known. The palette has shifted.

This painting is more than a few years old. Sometimes it is good to look back.

I am working on some smaller paintings for a small works exhibit. This is the first potential piece.

We are starting to see more rain and the cooling signs of Fall. Inspiration for this piece headed to my October show on Vashon Island.
