This painting is a pretty special piece. Inspiration from the Green Monarch Mountain range along Lake Pend Oreille.

Grand (final)
I did a major rework of this painting from last fall.
Sun Season (finished)
I revisited and finished this painting just as the sun season is heading out the door. It always brings me down thinking of the expansive darkness ahead.
Springs Promise (Missoula)
This is a special piece to me. I held onto it for a couple years as it felt so alive and inspiring in the studio. It is now framed and available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana!
Springs Promise (final)
This is a painting that I have always loved but was not quite finished. I finally buttoned this one up and, drove it to Missoula, Montana. The painting will be part of the “Fathom” exhibit opening July 25th at Radius Gallery.
I will be driving back to Montana in a matter of days for the opening!
Range (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
It is a really great contemporary art gallery, the closest one that I work with. I will be participating in a three person “waterscape” show at the gallery in the Spring of 2025. Much work to do!
Blue Forever
A new painting in the studio! I am currently preparing a lot of boards that are this size and 16” x 20”. These will be keeping me busy throughout much of the very dark winter season.
Grand
Another new painting in the studio today. This one has been in the works for a little while. I am very pleased with that big sky feeling of this piece. I am starting to get a solid collection of work in my studio. Unfortunately none of it really works with my upcoming March show… but I follow my passions so the show will reveal itself in time.
High Country
Inspiration from the mountains of North Idaho. Summertime always slips away. The old cliches about time are all true.
The last nine years I have picked huckleberries hiking down from the top of Schweitzer, our local ski resort. This year it was a bit too early for the berries but it was still beautiful!
Glow (again)
A bit more detail work and color glazing. Now this painting is finished!
I am really enjoying working on larger paintings again. While I am painting I am continuing to prepare new wood panels. When winter rolls around I will be stocked up just like the squirrels.
