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.

Rejuvenate
Moving forward with a little bit of rain.
Renew
The beginning of a new series of paintings. Having spent my life in the Northwest, I have seen a lot of rain.
Timbered (final)
Atmosphere and mood as subjects. This painting is for sale at Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan.
Looking Up
Looking up at snow covered branches. I am endlessly dragging them off the driveway, hoping my timing isn’t wrong.
Forest Passages
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.
The Sound
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
Dark Pictures
I paint a dark picture. Seeking light I have known. The palette has shifted.
Crowned in Gold
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.
Changes
Another moody storm piece. I love trying to capture that sense of epic power.
I picked up a bunch of new boards to paint on. Always excited when I have so many surfaces ready!
