I sold this new painting! It is now varnished, framed and I just need to ship it! It is definitely helpful to have some private sales while I put together a couple collections of work for art galleries.

Evening Blush
I really dig this small painting. As an artist I am always chasing something intangible, some kind of magic. I can really feel it when it is there. I used to feel endless disappointment in my work, now I am really into what I do but it is the exceptional vibe I pursue.
Begin and End (Oregon)
A large painting available through the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon!
Not Alone
A new painting, this one was created as a diptych. It is more impactful as a stand alone image so that is how I will keep it. I love the atmosphere and simplicity of this piece.
Early Hours
It has been many years since I have painted a diptych, now I have a few in the works. This is the largest piece at the moment. I have always planned on painting some huge diptychs but haven’t gotten to it… this is a start anyway.
Silence
A new painting on the easel for Labor Day weekend. Reflecting the seasons change, nothing stays the same. I believe I only have one more 18”x24” board left to paint on… such a fun size.
Beginning (SOLD)
I was happy to hear today that this painting was sold through Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan. This one was part of a group show celebrating Lake Michigan. I had a solo show at this gallery a few years back and was pleased to be invited to participate in this exhibit.
Time
A small dramatic new painting. In this studio shot you can see some small jars with black lids. I use those to store key acrylic colors I premix when I paint. This is something I have done for decades. Now I use smaller jars and clean them out after use.
Echo of Time
I just finished this new cloudscape painting. One of my favorite aspects of summer is hanging out on the deck watching clouds roll across the lake. it never grows old and always inspires.
Evening Glow
A new painting, this one was completed over the weekend. Summer tends to get busy with visitors and all the distractions beautiful weather brings. I am trying to carve out as much time to paint as I am able. I always want to be in the studio, I feel restless and adrift when I am not.
