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

Solitude
This large piece is at Abend Gallery in Denver Colorado. One of my favorite paintings of the year… it’s been a good year!
Lake Lines
This little painting went to Abend Gallery a while back. I am busy working on a body of work for a Vashon Island Exhibit in October then switching to smaller works like this for a number of galleries.
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.
Changes
A proper digital photo of this piece. It feels appropriate for a Monday somehow.

In Time
Drawing deep the air is cold water. The wind numbing it shutters my fear. A little peace while the sun is shining.
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!
To the Sea…
This painting just sold through Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina.
A great gallery started years ago by a college art couple that followed their dream! Now it is a hugely successful gallery in a great historic town. I hope to visit some day preferably when it cold up here!
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.
