More inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. I have been living on the lake for nearly a decade. The beauty is always an inspiration. I am always chasing the light in my art. The world feels so very dark far too often.

Coming Storm
A new painting in the studio, I think I can almost hear this one. I am currently painting on some larger panels which is really a treat.
Mountain Bloom
A new painting in the studio today. This piece is a love letter to light and atmosphere. A few images from the easel.
Slipping Away
Dramatic low light of the season has resulted in some gorgeous sunsets on Lake Pend Oreille. It is sad to say goodbye to the warm weather but I am enjoying all of the beauty of the season. Preparing more 18” x 24” boards for new work.
Moment
The temperatures are dropping as the sun begins to hide away. More and more I dread the winter but landscape is filled with inspiration.
I am working on a couple of paintings inspired by the beauty of the bashful light.
October
October already? These months are changing far too fast. I always dread the long darkness of the seasons we are entering. But my studio focus becomes even more intense, it keeps me enthusiastic and motivated.
Seasons End
I am continuing my efforts on small panels. Exploring ideas and moods before moving onto larger format paintings. Stay tuned!
Grand (final)
I did a major rework of this painting from last fall.
End in Gold
A new painting on the studio easel today. I always crave this kind of melancholic beauty. Something lovely and a little heartbreaking. I am currently splitting my time between 18” x 24” and some tiny 8” x 10” paintings. Exploring and trying to find new light.
WIP
Currently working on this piece in the studio. Layering colors and working with values to create the light.
