This is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting. I think I am pretty much finished with this particular painting. Minimalist landscape painting is intriguing to me, I hope to do a lot more work along these lines.

A Little Blue
This is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting I recently finished. Clouds are endlessly fascinating to me.
Silent
Know Your Place
This is an especially contemporary acrylic painting for me. I was experimenting with materials and ideas with no clear destination.
I won’t lead the viewer, I had a lot of ideas when painting and composing this image. Now looking at the finished piece I have other ideas. What does this painting say to you?
Open Country
I just finished this 16″x16″ mixed media painting. I really like the mood of this particular painting.

Shadows
This is a painting I did a couple of years ago. I stumbled across it while trying to clean out my studio.
Different approaches to the same sort of imagery I still work on. I now paint almost exclusively with translucent paint. This painting is a more traditional approach with a warm under paint and opaque colors built upon that. It still has a lot of interesting translucent passages but looks a bit “overworked” to me now.
Rising
Another atmospheric painting in progress. This painting is 16″x16″.
Pack up the show
Headed back to Pendleton, Oregon to take down the “shadows of the west” show. Such a long build up for a month long exhibition! I really enjoyed the experience and the opportunity, it just went by fast like all good things do. Most of these paintings will remain in crates until the next show in late July.
Driving across the more empty portions of the state fills me with nostalgia. Seeing boats and fishermen makes me think of a lot of fun adventures gone.
It was incredibly beautiful with distant rain squalls and amazing cloud formations… I still love a good road trip!!!
