I have been meaning to paint some forest scenes for some time. I finally have completed one of the paintings on a 24″x30″ board.

Summer’s Dust
12″x12″ cow portrait
Countertop Collection
Here are some paintings on the counter this morning in my studio. I will packaging two of them up to mail out tomorrow! One is bound for Australia and one for Wisconsin.
Four for the show…
These four paintings were some works I installed at “Evans Brothers” last night. This Sandpoint coffee shop has regular art shows and is a great place to go in Sandpoint, Idaho. In total I have 26 paintings on display, so if you happen to be in North Idaho…
Morning Smoke
The terrible forest fires of the west this summer were heartbreaking. The only silver lining was the incredible sunrise and sunsets but I hope we don’t see more fires in coming years… seems to be the way things are headed though.
This painting is 24”x36” acrylic and open acrylic paint.
A Meditation
This is the third 36”x48” painting I have recently completed . They are all painted on deep cradled wood frames so they are pretty substantial pieces!
Seasons Change
This is a large work in progress (36”x48”). The scale of paintings like this is exciting but on a deep cradled board it renders it very expensive to ship!
I have been working on three large brooding paintings. They will make a small solo show tour this year and next.
Three Trout
Here are three trout paintings I recently completed. The slick shiny trout lend themselves well to the paint.
Waves of Pend Oreille
As the seasons change and the snow marches down the mountains I am seeing a lot more days like I represented in this painting. This one is 48”x36” painted on a 2” cradled board. I recently sold off a big painting so I had the perfect space available on my studio wall.
I have a few solo shows coming up in the next 5 months so odds are this one will be doing some traveling.
Spectator
I have returned again to an old theme… the isolated chair. I am trying to put together some small works for a show at a little gallery in Idaho. I have a few big solo shows coming up soon so my time has been very tight… not to mention that pesky day job that had been keeping the lights on…
This painting is 12”x12”, some interesting results that I will keep in my mind for future work. I ended up selling this painting first thing this morning so now I need another piece for the previously mentioned show.
It is good to be painting.
