I finished these two small sunset paintings. I have a number of small frames and am excited to fill them! These will probably be headed to my solo show in Astoria, Oregon in July.
Two of a kind

Through the frame
Another small painting! The brush partly for scale, mostly for painting.
Abend Gallery
I am sending three 5″x5″ paintings to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They are having a small works show and asked if I had time to paint any. These are in the mail on their way now!
Montana Country
I have been working on this commission, inspired by the big open spaces of Montana. I really enjoyed the subtle blending of hues in the field, the glow of light. I just love that kind of country!
Big and Small
Painting some small works for an upcoming exhibit. Considering a new life as a hand model.
Later than you think
I accidentally made some kind of new fangled clock! Turns out it is later than I thought…
North… to Alaska
I am not going back to alaska anytime soon, sadly. This painting is a commission I am finalizing, inspired by Alaska. I would love to get back up there again!
My Wave
Packing up this commission bound for Washington D.C. It makes the exterior of my studio look more like Cannon Beach than North Idaho!
Mac the fish
I am painting a few trout portraits to honor our aquatic friends. I caught the largest trout of my life on my birthday. I always catch and release fish but they are netting these Mackinaw trout to reduce their numbers. They are serious predators and clearly get huge! This fish was 17.85 lbs and 36″ long! It is providing a lot of meals for the family!
Parliament
8” diameter acrylic
That’s right, a group of owls is called a parliament. I had to look it up, such a distinguished and appropriate title. Now they are generally solitary birds so this is pretty worthless trivia, still must remember!
