Today I dropped of ten paintings at the Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
A really nice contemporary art gallery in a fun Montana town. If you are in the area the gallery is definitely worth a visit. Always a beautiful mix of art on display. I am excited to have some of my work at Radius now!
Atmosphere and light are always a source of inspiration. I am working on a number of paintings relating to the subtle shifts I am observing in North Idaho.
A little landscape from my neck of the woods. The natural world always providing ample drama and inspiration.
Collecting high resolution photographs of your art is critical. At the very least it is something worth looking at later to see how your work has changed and hopefully evolved. I frequently fail to capture images of my paintings and it’s a shame to sell work without retaining a digital version.
Over the weekend I did manage to take some photographs of my recent works. These aren’t the highest resolution, I scaled them down for the website.
I was motivated by a deadline, it always seems to take a deadline!
An atmospheric cloudscape I just completed. The sky is a constant source of inspiration to me!
Another highly atmospheric lake scene. An interesting challenge trying to suggest forest and water in the most delicate way.
This painting has shipped off to it’s new home in Texas! It is a 20″x16″ painting that I just picked up from my solo show in Pendleton, Oregon.
This painting was part of a storm series I had started working on over the summer. Inspired by some rather overwhelming early summer storms that were shockingly beautiful and probably contributed to our summer forest fires.
Delicate atmospherics above the big water. A subject that is always intriguing to me, keeps drawing me back.
This is a small collection of 10″x8″ paintings. I am experimenting with more aggressive mark making trying to boldly capture the morning light.
I am currently working on smaller paintings. After so many shows and deadlines this year I just want to paint and experiment and see where it goes!
I don’t think I have ever painted rainbows before. Such a blatantly beautiful visual to behold it always felt like too much. But here are a couple I painted this week! I will resist the urge to use this as a gateway to unicorns, probably.
