I was pleased to hear that these two paintings were sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They go back a few years, good to remember them and remind myself how things have moved with time.

Nightfall
The moon is always so beautiful, such an intriguing subject. I wanted to capture the last fade of sunlight as the night takes over the hours. I just finished this piece, it may be part of my upcoming solo show, decision time is at hand.
Moonshine
A new nocturne painting in the studio. I really love the mood of this piece. I might pursue some larger variations on this theme.
Midnight (available)
This painting is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Part of my solo exhibit opening this Thursday!
Mountain Moon (final)
One of three nocturnal paintings that will be at my solo show opening May 9th! The exhibit will take place at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The collection of twenty paintings are finally varnished and framed!
Midnight
My newest nocturne painting in the studio. This is the third painting in this series on 18” cradled wood panels.
Night Song
I new nocturnal painting on a square cradled 18” wood panel.
This one was painted using a limitation color palette, maximum mood. I use a limited palette always, primary colors plus magenta. They were mixed down to a narrow spectrum for this painting.
Mountain Moon
I am working on a series of 18” moon paintings, this is the first in the collection. I named it “mountain moon”, it occurred to me later those words together sounded like a song… Flyin’ Shoes, great song by a legendary artist.
Townes Van Zandt – Flyin’ Shoes
Day’s full of rain
Sky’s coming down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby it won’t be long
‘Fore I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
‘Til I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Spring only sighed
Summer had to be satisfied
Fall is a feeling
That I just can’t lose
I’d like to stay
Maybe watch a winter day
Turn the green water
To white and blue
Flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
‘Til I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
The mountain moon
Forever sets too soon
Being alone
Is all the hills can do
Alone and then
Her silver sails again
And they will follow in
Their flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
And they will follow in
Their flyin’ shoes
Miniatures (Haven)
Four of my miniature paintings are now available through Haven Gallery! This is a cool contemporary art gallery in Long Island, New York. I have been working with them just over a year now. I will be having a solo show there in 2025. These shows are scheduled far in advance as it takes a huge amount of time to put together a large collection of paintings.
Moon and Sun
This is the first vertical diptych I have painted. Considering doing something along these lines on a massive scale, so many things to do…
