North Winds
More inspiration from the home water, Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho! I am obsessed with the changing landscape and it is an endless well of inspiration.
I used to consider 18”x24” to be a large painting. They now seem small but are a really great size to work on. Plenty of room for expression but small enough to cover relatively quickly, I am working on a series of these misty images with plans to paint much larger work in the near future. My plans are always fluid, always following my enthusiasm of the moment.
Happy Holidays!!
Autumn Bloom
Fall has slipped into winter. Thought I would share this new painting to commemorate the season finale. I rarely varnish and frame work as soon as I complete it but this painting cried out to be fully finished. I do not generally chase the season when I am painting but I follow my enthusiasms and nature is always sparking my imagination.
Spiritual
New work on the easel today. I am working on a few of these epic images. A tribute to the mood and limited sunlight of the winter season.
Radius Gallery (exhibit)
“Radius Gallery’s WORLD, December 12th – December 30th,” www.radiusgallery.com
I have 8 paintings available in this exciting holiday show. I drove over to Missoula recently to drop off the work. Such a beautiful contemporary art gallery.
Patterns in Time
Work continues, patterns reveal. Painting is always an exploration with endless potential like the best things in life.
Winter Path (December)
We woke up to snow this morning, to mark the start of December. I thought I would mark the occasion with a small winter painting from 2022. This one was sold to a collector. I am also attaching a video from my morning hike, such a change overnight!
Lullaby (Missoula)
I have eight new paintings available now at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. An incredibly beautiful contemporary art gallery in the heart of downtown Missoula. I had not had work available through Radius for a number of years… good to be back!
Crossing (Missoula)
This is one of eight new paintings I have available at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. It’s an incredible gallery and I am excited to have new work there once again.
I drove the collection over to Missoula yesterday! The drive was so beautiful along the Clark Fork River and then following the Flathead River east. Just a gorgeous part of the country, I hate taking a day off from the studio but it was a day of recharging and inspiration.
Range (Montana)
Inspiration from big sky country, it’s only right that I send it to a great gallery in Montana, Radius Gallery. This is one of eight pieces bound for Missoula, Montana.
