A moody new painting on the easel. Inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho.
Through Darkness
Tag: Mood
Fade Pink
A bit of January’s mood on canvas panel. Each day we gain about a minute of added daylight. I am slowing the passing of time by monitoring this glacial change.
16 Hoof Beats (RiverSea)
This brooding painting is currently available at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I have always been a fan of moody skies and this one definitely brings a mood!
Late Times (last day)
Today marks the conclusion of my solo exhibit “Dreams Between Darkness” at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The show encapsulates a years worth of studio work. Strange to see it wrapping up. This particular paintings was one of the more surreal pieces in a show featuring 21 paintings.
Haunted Edge (WIP)
This painting truly has a haunting feeling in person. Part of a series I am working on inspired by the lake shore and the season.
Blaze into Dark
This small painting is from February of this year. Another idea I have meant to explore a bit more.
Whispered
I often find myself painting work I think of as “dreamscapes”. The driving focus of this piece is mood, light and atmosphere. The result not so much a literal translation of scenery but a slightly surreal departure from reality.
Steely Surface (shipping)
I finally received this custom floater frame that I ordered online. I mounted the painting in the frame and have the piece ready to hang. I can now pack up this painting and ship it to Canada!
Seasons End

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.
