I spent some time on this piece late last week. I signed and varnished it over the weekend. I will be ordering a frame for this piece, considering it for a group landscape exhibit.

Winter took a while to get here but it has truly arrived. I am trying to keep hiking up the mountain every morning along with snow clearing. The most important thing though is painting. I will continue posting new artwork on this site but the highway is getting short.

Morning hike

Clouds and light continue to fascinate and inspire. This is an energetic take inspired by the morning sun.

Morning light shining through the fall leaves, hard not to love such a delight. I was greeted with fresh snow this morning, winter is eager.

I have been painting some of the local colors I see on my early morning hikes. Now it seems that winter has snuck in. This morning I will see if the trail is treacherous. No doubt there will be some winter imagery in the future.

My ongoing collection of small forest paintings. I am not taking the mornings for granted.

Eye makes a special appearance. I was excited to paint trees catching the morning light. I am hiking early every morning, it is an inspiration.

A glimmering little echo of the morning.

The winter arrived late but with serious intent. Mornings dream like with mist lifting from the waves and through the forest. The water revealed as the color of dawn warms the sky if not the air.
Three surf paintings together on my studio table. It is still full night and snowing in North Idaho. I stomped the powder off my boots at the studio door. It was a nice greeting, scenery from some other place.
