Today started in a flurry of painting. Then I stopped to order some frames and do a podcast with a fellow painter. Back to painting on this very Good Friday.

Beneath the Shine I
I am working on a new series of water paintings. These are painted on a deep cradled board. I am finishing the edges with gold leaf rather than simply framing them. Some of these paintings will be at my solo show “Dreams Between Darkness”, June 11th at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Shine of Spring
A tribute to the season. I am so excited for more daylight and sunshine. A little sun on the lake and the day is better.
I am working on a little collection of these 16” square water paintings. I put gold leaf on the 2” cradled side rather than framing the pieces. Some of these should be at my June solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Gold Moon
A new painting in the studio this morning. Another tribute to the moon. Two more nocturnal painting in the works… stay tuned.
Winter Magic (final)
A final studio shot of this painting. Inspired by the cold beauty of the north woods. This painting will be part of my solo exhibit at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The show opening is June 11th, I am planning on attending the opening.
Beyond Forever (reels)
This video shows some of the finalizing that goes into an already finished painting! I have since shipped this one to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. It was a commission arranged through the gallery.
Good Things 🔴
I was happy to learn that this painting sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. I have been working with the gallery for about 5 years now. Hopefully I can get more work to them soon. I have been swamped putting together work for my June solo show.
Stand Alone
A new reel honoring the ending of the winter season for 2022. The snow is melting fast here so this year it seems accurate! This is my favorite winter painting of the year, seemed like the appropriate one to post.
Waxing Dusk (video)
I revisited this painting. It never felt “right” to me. Some additional work proved to be the right decision. Now I have finalized the painting, signed and varnished.
Rise and Fall 🔴
This large seascape was sold through the Grand Bohemian Gallery in Saint Augustine, Florida. Today I will be carefully packing and shipping this painting to its new home!
