I am continuing my collection of smaller 12”x16” acrylic paintings. I have prepared a lot of boards this size and want to use them all before I move onto larger work. Seeking inspiration from my own work to pursue some larger pieces, that is my plan. My part of the world is my ultimate muse, the use of paint a close rival.
Winter continues to paint my world. I was not planning more winter scenes but it is drawing me in with its silent magic.
I was pleased to learn that this painting sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I am painting a lot of forest scenes these days. No plans, I follow my enthusiasm… my number one rule. Really the only rule I adhere to, I dislike rules.
A bit of January’s mood on canvas panel. Each day we gain about a minute of added daylight. I am slowing the passing of time by monitoring this glacial change.
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. Really top notch gallery.
The beauty of winter, an irresistible lure for my brush. The season is long in North Idaho, this one really started early. Like all things it will end, reveling in its splendor while it is visiting.
An intensely colorful painting that has a great vibe. I have been doing a number of 12”x16” boards of late. Eager to move onto some larger pieces now.
I love the winter solstice. The days will once again stretch out and we can look forward to the light. In the meantime we can enjoy the low sun magic and winter landscape.
I was pleased to be interviewed by “Art Chowder Magazine” last summer. Last night I was scrolling through twitter and saw that the magazine reposted this, thought I would share it here!
This painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
Playing around with some 12”x16” canvas panels in the studio. A bit of exploration for potential larger works to come.
