Everything

Everything – 14.5” x 21.5”, acrylic painting 

My daily hike is always a source of inspiration for my paintings. This fog lift exploration is pushing towards the abstract in a pretty interesting way.

Working toward my solo show “Luminosity” in May of 2027. I am doing a number of these smaller paintings before scaling up.

On an exciting side note I sold this painting through instagram shortly after posting it! This painting was one I intended to hang onto either for the show or studio inspiration for the exhibit. I was really pleased that a collector of my work was excited to own it.

Winter Path (December)

Winter Path – 10”x10”, acrylics

We woke up to snow this morning, to mark the start of December. I thought I would mark the occasion with a small winter painting from 2022. This one was sold to a collector. I am also attaching a video from my morning hike, such a change overnight!

This morning’s hike

More inspiration from the forest. I am very fortunate to live close to a National Forest trailhead. I have been using it constantly and it renews my inspiration daily. With so much snow already building up, not sure if I will be able to keep it up… I will try.

December 1st, it seemed like the last day to hike up Gold Hill without snow. So I made the 6 mile round trip excursion this morning. It’s such a beautiful view and great exercise, sorry I didn’t make more hikes to the top this year. As I type this the snow is piling up outside. At this point it is on the ground for the season!

It was in the low 20’s during the hike. By the end I pulled my water bottle out of my jacket and it had frozen!
