One of five paintings framed and almost ready to ship to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. Framing, installing hardware and taking final photographs always takes longer than I remember. Trying to get some work finalized this Sunday so that I can play with paint in the morning.
Straight on photo of this painting sitting on my largest easel.
A small painting I did as a commission. I am going to make some large moon related paintings so this was a nice warmup.
When the moon comes out in the winter it seems especially magic. The light is so limited in January.
Always nice to get a check in the mail instead of a bill! This one sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
5”x5”, acrylic paintings
Packing up some small works that I recently sold.
A painting inspired by the ridge that blocks much of the low winter sun. We have loads of snow coming which is inspiring a lot of winter artwork this year.
Though the daylight is brief the combination of snow and moon last night made for a magical evening. I guess it’s only a matter of time before I paint some large moonlight related imagery.
Work in progress on this snowbound passage.
Starting a series of paintings focusing on the forest. I live in snow country so there will be some winter imagery, don’t be alarmed.
Light, color and atmosphere are some of the elements I am obsessed with. So a small sunset painting before I really dig into the winter and forest imagery I am inspired to do.
Two moody forest scenes. I prepared so many 12” boards that I keep painting images this size! It is a fun scale to work on as it allows for a little quicker experimentation. Ultimately I need to move back to larger panels for my 2020 exhibits.
