Fall is a gorgeous time of year, also a bit melancholy. The color and lighting of the season is incredibly inspiring. It pulls me away from the work I was planning. More autumnal images to come.

Beholder’s Eye (TBT)
This painting was sold a number of years back through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. It’s only June and it seems fire is already a major threat. It’s a terrible trend that is only getting worse.
Tomorrow
A new painting on the easel in my studio today! I continue my obsession with atmosphere, light and lakes of the north. I wish I could hold onto the moments and feelings. Painting is the only way I know.
Starts and Ends
I was pleased to learn this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Great gallery, I am happy to be working with them.
Breaking
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.
Promise
Winter continues to paint my world. I was not planning more winter scenes but it is drawing me in with its silent magic.
Low Sun (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn that this painting sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I am painting a lot of forest scenes these days. No plans, I follow my enthusiasm… my number one rule. Really the only rule I adhere to, I dislike rules.
Western Glow (final)
Final image and details from this commissioned piece. The commission was arranged through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
Western Glow
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.
Winter Path
A small painting to represent the season. Heavy snowfall in my part of the world.
