RiverSea Gallery – announcement
New solo show at the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon – June 2022. This painting, “Remembered Light”, 40”x30 was one of the pieces in my last exhibit at RiverSea.
My last show at the gallery was summer 2019. I am limiting solo exhibitions to one a year after 7 years of two or three shows annually. I have decided to focus on large epic pieces. Also allowing myself at least a small amount of time to enjoy the precious summer.
Blaze into Dark (Final)
Studio capture today of this small yet epic painting. The title is my best hope for the future.
Witness (one year)
This photo was taken nearly a year ago. I am constantly thinking about the passing of time and how I spend it. It is true you spend time like money but it cannot be replenished. The clock is ticking, can I make the most of this day? I continue to paint each day. It is how I pay my bills but it is also my passion in life. All we can do is follow our enthusiasms and appreciate the good time while we have it.
Timbered Shore
This feels so much like the Northwest to me. Common elements of inspiration that I adore. I am so excited for Spring.
The Moment
There are moments in nature so pure my thoughts seem to vanish. For the briefest time I am a child of nature.
The Harbinger
Yesterday I heard this painting sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon! This piece is one of my favorites, a marriage of mystery and menace. The painting now lives in Portland, Oregon.
Fading Distance
Fields of Idaho (Final)
Final capture of this commission that is now at its new home! I have a couple more commissions lined up. I am pretty particular about commissions, it has to be something I am excited about painting.
One Path
I don’t believe in one path, there are oh so many roads. This loose and energetic little painting was a pleasure.
