Two shoreline paintings I recently finished. I took them outside to get a picture in the lovely autumn light.

Dimming Light
This moody painting was one of my favorites last winter. It now resides in San Francisco.
Radius Gallery
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!
Shoreline Silhouettes
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.
Haley Bay
A little landscape from my neck of the woods. The natural world always providing ample drama and inspiration.
Captured Images (a small collection)
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!
Blue Above 11”x14”
An atmospheric cloudscape I just completed. The sky is a constant source of inspiration to me!
Memories 14”x11”
Another highly atmospheric lake scene. An interesting challenge trying to suggest forest and water in the most delicate way.
Coming Home
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.
Lullaby 14”x11”
Delicate atmospherics above the big water. A subject that is always intriguing to me, keeps drawing me back.
