I went to Pendleton for my second solo art show. This is something I was selected for about a year ago and have been working towards the event with a lot of enthusiasm. I am seeking out more solo exhibitions for art exposure but also my love of road trips and adventure.
Here are a few shots from the show just before the opening! It was a fun time met a lot of great local art patrons!
We spent all day yesterday setting up the show. Lori Sams is the gallery director and she does a great job, brought in a couple of assitants too! The opening is tonight, should be fun.
48″x36″ acrylic painting.
I was working on this while also painting “Sea Change”, which I recently posted. They certainly share some color and lighting approaches. I typically like to work on a few paintings at the same time. The end result being you have three paintings that work well together and it keeps the momentum up. These paintings were so large that two was plenty!
This is another large acrylic painting (48″x36″).
I am working on a number of large paintings currently. This one is basically finished!
Some final photographs from a fun getaway weekend. The weather cooperated and it really felt like spring!
A long weekend at Lake Pend Oreille. Always great to get away and spend time with Mother Nature.
I went on a six mile hike that reminded me of my age and questionable physical condition. I was rewarded with solitude, a sense of accomplishment and wildlife. I saw moose droppings. I flushed three white tail deer. Enjoyed the chattering of squirrels along with the lonely call of a varied thrush.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
This is an 18″ x 18″ acrylic painting.

I read somewhere the description of tonalist painting as “breath on glass”. The idea of something barely there. That phrase echoes in my mind now and again… It is a beautiful notion.
I just received the postcard for my art show in the mail! It looks a lot like a “wanted” poster which is pretty great.
