Breaking

Breaking – 12”x16”, acrylics

Winter has come roaring back to North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille is freezing and snow is piling up. I was shifting away from my winter paintings, but here is a new one! I do love the dramatic lighting when the sunlight is breaking through the trees in the winter months.

Western Glow

Western Glow – 28”x28”, acrylic

A newly completed commission, arranged through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Some very sweet art collectors have been patiently waiting for me to finish this one!

This is an unusual size so I had the board custom made. In the past I have built my own boards but it is more time away from painting.

Starts and Ends

Starts and Ends – 12”x12”, acrylic

I have been painting a lot of forest scenes recently. It occurred to me that this is a pattern I have followed for a few years in the fall. The low sun this time of year is beautiful and haunting. It drives home the temporary quality of our existence.
