Two more small paintings, exploring that beautiful fade of day. The final blast of light highlighting the clouds just as the crickets start their song.

In the Sun
Detail of a new painting in the studio. I am currently painting a number of 24” x 18” pieces, nice to have a little more room to roam.
Closer
I put the final layer of color on this dramatic new piece. This painting has taken most of the week to create, worth the time.
Winter Dream
A new winter scene on the studio easel. I love nature, it is a constant source of inspiration and joy. I tend to use nature as a jumping off point. My paintings tend to be fantastical dreamscapes, this is a good example. The paint is also the subject, I obsess over paint blending and mark making.
Drifting Above
Another strangely optimistic painting in the studio. I have been obsessively listening to news podcasts and watching just about every other news source on television. It always feels like the end of days and just seems to get worst. I don’t have much faith in the human animal… but here is a bit of visual hope.
Rise Above (Final)
I took a few more high resolution photos yesterday, this was one capture. Today I have some paintings to varnish and prepare for framing. More importantly I am going to be painting!
Gates of Gold
I just finished this painting yesterday afternoon. The backlit clouds and intensity of hue are pretty effective!
Heavenly (SOLD)
I just sold this painting to a collector in Wyoming. The painting was inspired by a short drive to Montana. Happy to live in this part of the world. Buyer was through Horizon Fine Art Gallery.
Balance (final)
This was part of an ethereal collection of sky paintings I recently finished. Minimal sky paintings freed from the constraints of land.
Heavenly
This tall painting is bound for my upcoming show on Vashon Island. Inspired by the shocking beauty of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park.
