Summer is so gorgeous in North Idaho on Lake Pend Oreille. It is a constant source of inspiration and excitement. I particularly like days when moody clouds drift across the lake. Summer is far to short.

Cloudy (Charleston Exhibit)
Two new paintings shipped to Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. The paintings will be exhibited in their “Cloudy” show opening on August 4th!
Range
I bit of inspiration from a Montana road trip. I live in a pretty part of the country. It is a short drive to other beautiful places too!
Working Artist
I am fortunate to be working with some great galleries around the country. Horizon Fine Art Gallery is one of the wonderful places that sells my work. The gallery is located in Jackson Hole, one of the prettiest places in the world. In the last month I have sold seven pieces through the art gallery! I am ordering more frames and finishing more art, hope to get more work there soon.
WIP weekend
I am loving these summer days at home. Some painting, swimming and boating. The season is short but I can’t stop painting and must lean into the splendor!!!
Sky Electric
I am starting a new series of cloud paintings featuring a bit of electricity! I have a number of 11”x14” canvas panels and decided to do a deep dive on the subject. If I am still excited upon their completion I may do a very large painting on the theme. I follow my own enthusiasm always.
Reflections (SOLD)
I was pleased to hear that this painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. This painting is part of a “Landscape Painting” show I was invited to participate in.
Denmark
A morning walk around Copenhagen, Denmark. It’s always interesting to spend time alone walking in a new place imagining another life. So many possibilities in this short time we have. I am not a city person, I crave nature and peaceful places but fantasies are entertaining.
Through Darkness (revisit)
Another look at this painting. A look at it in the studio in video form. I find myself “stuck” in Europe due to a family medical emergency. I was eager to get back to my work in the studio but life is filled with the unexpected.
Eternity’s Edge
This is one of a few large atmospheric paintings I am currently working on in the studio. I recently returned from a long cruise, more ocean related adventures coming this summer. Adventures take me away from the studio but they also fuel my desires.
