So happy to find a little time in the studio. It’s been both a busy and lazy holiday season.

Shadowed Lands (ID-WY)
This piece was sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole (a couple years back). It was inspired by the beauty of the Kootenai National Wildlife Refugee in North Idaho.
Darkening Light
An experimental older painting I recently dug up. I made a couple modifications and hung it in the studio.
The darkness of this painting seems appropriate for the winter solstice. Looking forward to more daylight!
Longing (Asheville, N.C.)
Part of a collection of paintings available at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
December Evening
The limited sunlight of December inspires.
Morning Forest
A couple recent works that pair well, influence from morning hikes. Starting with small studies can either lead to larger pieces or satisfy the need.
Leaves of Light
Morning light shining through the fall leaves, hard not to love such a delight. I was greeted with fresh snow this morning, winter is eager.
Love of Gold
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.
Abstraction (R.W.)
Simplification and abstraction, concepts I play with to varying degrees in my work. This little painting is all about the feel of light.
November Morning
I have been painting some of the local colors I see on my early morning hikes. Now it seems that winter has snuck in. This morning I will see if the trail is treacherous. No doubt there will be some winter imagery in the future.
