Small paintings are a great way to play with compositions and color schemes. I am also excited to use these little frames!
Color and Light
Tag: landscape
All the world is green
The magic of spring when the grass is still green and growing. The days expanding and the outdoors beckon.
Through the frame
Another small painting! The brush partly for scale, mostly for painting.
Abend Gallery
I am sending three 5″x5″ paintings to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They are having a small works show and asked if I had time to paint any. These are in the mail on their way now!
Montana Country
I have been working on this commission, inspired by the big open spaces of Montana. I really enjoyed the subtle blending of hues in the field, the glow of light. I just love that kind of country!
Awake (for a little while)
Water and light have always drawn me in. The endless shifting of shapes and colors has a meditative quality. Slowly you drift.
North… to Alaska
I am not going back to alaska anytime soon, sadly. This painting is a commission I am finalizing, inspired by Alaska. I would love to get back up there again!
Only a day away…
I sold this painting through Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento. It was part of my solo show in February of this year.
Nowhere is Forever
Another dramatic sky blanketing this seascape. I tend to think of many of my works as emotional landscapes. I would not call myself an “emotional landscape painter” simply because I find labels to be limiting. I probably just have a contrary nature.
Getting Framed!
A morning of framing and mounting hangers on sold pieces. This one is headed to Australia!
