Happy Earth Day, now check out the moon. We seem dead set on destruction but somehow the planet is still spinning… good job earth.

Last weeks TBT has inspired me to pursue some small water panels.
One of four paintings I will be framing and shipping to Abend Gallery in Denver Colorado. This piece is for a small works exhibit at the gallery in November.
I love clouds, of course they are best when they don’t obscure all of the blue! This painting is the second one inspired by the transitions of season. Snow rapidly disappearing from the mountains, so fast it caused substantial flooding in North Idaho. The diminishing snow adds so much character to the faded mountains, particularly when the sky is filled with clouds and mist. It creates a kind of ghostly magical quality that is so subtle but so inspiring.
I seem to be painting a lot of clouds these days. Giant powerful and full of mood they have always fascinated me so I am simply following my interests. This particular painting is 16″x16″ acrylic / open acrylic painting on cradled board.
As a painter I am striving to paint work that feels unique and new with a fresh vibrant use of color and mark making. The goal is a bit like shooting at the moon, I realize it is impossible but it doesn’t stop me. This particular painting is simple but encapsulates a lot of what I am striving for.
My two recent forest paintings together! Each acrylic painting is 24″x30″ on aluminum panel.
