I wrapped up this large piece. Sorting out what is needed for my October show on Vashon Island.

Summer
Winter Light, 20”x24” acrylic
So hard to let the summer go. Each year I promise to make the very most of the season. Yet it has slipped away while I was pushing paint around. Winter is coming, I don’t hate it. The silent isolation is made for painting.
A little gift
My Aunt Anna and Uncle Mike came through North Idaho on their way back to Wyoming. They had never seen this part of the state so it was fun to give them a little lake tour. I gave them this little sunset painting as my Aunt has talked about owning one of my paintings for years!
Ode to Summer
Summer,
Once again you made me your fool. All those warm days and late nights the sun barely resting. I tried so hard to keep you by my side.
Now you are off to some southern land. I laugh as you go but I will never forgive you. I prize my solitude and I will cling to the darkness. Maybe I will pine over an old photo of you this winter. In April a sparrow might spark a faint memory.
Damn, I just want you to come back.
Charleston
This painting is at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. I have painted many sunsets, this was a good one. The vertical format and warm water reflections really made this one.
Origin Story
This is a little fire painting I did exactly one year ago today! It happens to be Fathers Birthday and it seems like a great image to post on this day!
On an amusing side note someone on Instagram said they wished I would do video game art because it would be amazing. I did that for 25 years… it wasn’t as fun as it sounds.
Looking Back
This is s waterscape from a couple years back. I am always thinking about painting, where is it taking me? Part of that is looking back at past works and seeing changes.
Studio Scene
Freshly varnished at the 7b studio spray booth! This is a shot from a week or so ago.
Even though the spray booth pulls the air through the studio well, I do not use it unless I am done working for the day.
Gallery Delivery
Elliott Fouts Gallery
Two of four new paintings at Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento, California! I traveled with a huge hard case that allowed for a safe delivery!
Thanks Elliott and Michelle!
Galleries
One of the four paintings I dropped off at Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento, Ca! I had a solo show there back in a February so it was good to add some more pieces to their gallery.
