Here is a collection I have finally put the finishing touches on! The small ones are 10″x10″ and the larger ones are 16″x16″. Always interesting to group paintings together and see how they get along.

Make You Blue
This is another painting trying to find that balance between something and nothing. I painted this in tandem with “I Hear The Owl”.
This is an 18″x18″ acrylic painting.
The show
Here are a few shots from the show just before the opening! It was a fun time met a lot of great local art patrons!
Betty Feves Memorial Gallery
We spent all day yesterday setting up the show. Lori Sams is the gallery director and she does a great job, brought in a couple of assitants too! The opening is tonight, should be fun.

29 paintings and Lulu
Getting my work together for the next show.
Filling my living room twice!
Finished Wandering
I completed the unwieldy cow painting I started about a week ago. The finished painting is 48″x36″ mounted on a 3″ deep cradled board.
I could not fit the painting in my photo cube and had to take a photograph of it leaning against a wall. This painting has a lot of interesting shine beneath the surface which makes it intriguing in person but difficult to photograph.
Dead or Alive
I just received the postcard for my art show in the mail! It looks a lot like a “wanted” poster which is pretty great.
Three Paintings
I finished these there paintings this week. I still need to sign them and mount hangers on the back but the art is done. They are all 18″ x 18″ acrylic paintings. I’m getting down to the wire for my solo show (it is the end of the month). I have a handful of additional paintings I am currently working on which may or may not make the cut… plus there are three paintings I’m really hoping to do before the show.
Which of these three paintings do you like the best?
Across the sky
I’m continuing to flesh out the cloud series I recently began. This is an in studio iPhone photograph of the most recent piece. Once I finish the painting I’ll take a proper photograph!
I will paint a couple more of these… Easy to get lost in this stuff.
Billowing my mind
Somewhere along the road I fell back into another painting habit, cloud scapes. Often the most simplistic image speaks to me the most.
I think this is probably the reason I still paint. You have fun making a mess and then there is a flash of magic. You can’t take credit for it because it can not be reproduced. The brush was in your hand so…? It is the mystery of life and everything unknown suddenly feeling fine.
