This is one of my favorites from the lightning series I recently finished. Considering doing a much larger variation on this theme.

Electric Collection
Sometimes it’s nice to dive into a subject and paint a series. These boards had been hanging around since winter and the summer storms inspired the series. I might to a big take on one of these or maybe not.
Strike
A new painting, inspired by summer storms. We desperately need rain but it always tends to come with electricity!
Electric
This new painting will be heading to Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. One of two paintings I will be exhibiting in their “Cloudy” show opening on August 4th.
Burn WIP
I have been painting on 11”x14” boards. Loose and bold storm related imagery. Aiming to catch light, exhilaration and motion. I am pleased with the results. I learned years ago I am the only one I need to please, and I’m a difficult critic!
Sky Electric
I am starting a new series of cloud paintings featuring a bit of electricity! I have a number of 11”x14” canvas panels and decided to do a deep dive on the subject. If I am still excited upon their completion I may do a very large painting on the theme. I follow my own enthusiasm always.
Only Passing Through
We had a pretty loud lightning and hail storm on Lake Pend Oreille yesterday. A little bit of excitement as winter slowly gives up the ghost.
Beyond the Hills
This painting packed a lot of power on a little board. We get some amazing lightning shows in North Idaho.
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.
Roaring Light (SOLD)
I just sold this painting. Sometimes my own studio is the best gallery.
