Fall, entering the dark season. It brings some melancholy with the beauty. Chasing the vibe on some small panels.

Not Alone
A new painting, this one was created as a diptych. It is more impactful as a stand alone image so that is how I will keep it. I love the atmosphere and simplicity of this piece.
Crossing
Summer is so gorgeous in North Idaho on Lake Pend Oreille. It is a constant source of inspiration and excitement. I particularly like days when moody clouds drift across the lake. Summer is far to short.
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.
Beginning
I have 6 square 18” boards that I am painting at the moment. Continuing to chase moody atmospherics. This one is still a work in progress but it is getting there.
Through Darkness
A moody new painting on the easel. Inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho.
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.
