At times I see myself in thee.

At times I see myself in thee.

A little isolated getaway. There are a number of island in Lake Pend Oreille. They are always intriguing. This painting isn’t based on a particular island.

Moving forward with a little bit of rain.

The beginning of a new series of paintings. Having spent my life in the Northwest, I have seen a lot of rain.

Atmosphere and mood as subjects. This painting is for sale at Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan.

Looking up at snow covered branches. I am endlessly dragging them off the driveway, hoping my timing isn’t wrong.

Two moody forest scenes. I prepared so many 12” boards that I keep painting images this size! It is a fun scale to work on as it allows for a little quicker experimentation. Ultimately I need to move back to larger panels for my 2020 exhibits.

I took a proper photo of this finished painting. This one is only 12″x12″, I definitely plan on doing larger works with this moody atmosphere.
Dark Pictures
I paint a dark picture. Seeking light I have known. The palette has shifted.

A dark and rainy morning as I add some layers of color to this piece. Painting with a crazy cold so I am a bit loopy. I’m not complaining.
