A couple pieces inspired by morning hikes. Currently the leaves are under ice and snow, there is a little more fall ahead.
Fall Down

October Morning
Rain and fall leaves, I had an unexpected urge to represent the season.
Patterns of Time
Wave and light exploration on a canvas panel. The movement of light through the surface of water is hypnotics and soothing to watch. I strive to echo that quality in a simplified and expressive manner.
National Bison Range
With a weekend journey down the highway to the National Bison Range, it seemed appropriate to post this final capture of “Tatanka”. It was inspired by a previous outing to this beautiful part of Montana. The painting is now at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
The Air
I really like the color scheme and moody vibes of this painting. As I prepare a lot of giant boards I am going to be going back and forth between small paintings and huge panels. Ultimately I want to create more large scale epic works. The large pieces are much more expensive to make and end up with a large price tag so tougher to sell. Ultimately they are more satisfying and I aim to please myself.
Clarity (Asheville, NC)
This painting is part of my new collection of works headed to Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
Breaking Light
I love a dramatic landscape. I have been up before dawn hiking and watching the sun break across the lake. Blasting color through the thick forest. Nature is endlessly inspiring.
Return (again)
A moody piece that is a preview to the dark coming months. I have spent a lot of time painting at this scale. I will be working on much larger pieces in the coming months.
Drift Today (final)
This was taken from a high resolution scan of the painting.
Fade Today
Heartbreaking as it fades.
