I sold this painting through Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento. It was part of my solo show in February of this year.
Only a day away…

May Day!
Raising Earth (detail)
16”x20” acrylic
I spent some more time capturing photos of recent work. This one is still a favorite of mine.
In the round
I bought some 8″ round wooden boards to paint on. These have a back cradled frame and are really nice. Thought it would be fun to do some portraits!
I am also using some art supplies given to me by Jerry’s Artarama. They sent me a lot of fun materials to play with.
Nowhere is Forever
Another dramatic sky blanketing this seascape. I tend to think of many of my works as emotional landscapes. I would not call myself an “emotional landscape painter” simply because I find labels to be limiting. I probably just have a contrary nature.
Getting Framed!
A morning of framing and mounting hangers on sold pieces. This one is headed to Australia!
Golden Time
This painting is now in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at Horizon Fine Art Gallery. It is a strange feeling spending so much time on a collection of paintings, pouring yourself into them. Box them up and they are out of your life forever. The same can be said for people that come and go from a life though mostly without the boxing (inevitable there too).
The sun is breaking free of the clouds now. Happy Tuesday, I am onto other projects!
Great expanses
I have always loved big open spaces. Something that is getting harder to find in our modern world.
One of many magical things about water is the open distance. People often suggest I add a boat or plane to my paintings… no.
Saturday Morning
I put some finishing touches on this painting. Light transitioning across clouds and the landscape is always a source of inspiration.
I am going to spend the day painting but vowed to take Sunday off. The sun is going to shine and the lake is calling. This morning I saw an otter, spring is making me smile.
To catch the light
I captured a high resolution of this painting before the packing begins! Getting ready to send a group of works to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Endings in Light
I have always been a fool for that last glimmer of light. Beauty and melancholy side by side, both heartbreakers.
