I am always dreaming of a better future. What we all have is today, I will spend it painting.
Tomorrow

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.
Proud Mountain
I love seeing the first light and last light of the day touch the mountain peaks. It is particularly beautiful when the mountains are capped with snow. They glow and are so inspiring and haunting.
Finale
Endless inspiration at the days conclusion. Nature in general is a constant source of enthusiasm, a precious well. I have prepared a number of 18” wood panels, more to come!
Lucidity
I am finishing this new painting in the studio today. It is a dangerously cold day in North Idaho, and not warm at all in my studio. That being said I am always happy to spend the day painting.
Snow Day
What was better as a child than a snow day? Now it doesn’t apply to me but the memories still warm my jaded heart. I just came back from my morning hike, impressive amount of snow coming down. The National Forest trail seems a little treacherous and the weather slightly dangerous. It felt great getting exercise and just a little thrilling. I take the thrills where I can find them these days.
Now I am back in the studio painting. I will be posting new work here soon.
Winter (2024, yikes)
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
Silver and Gold (SOLD)
I was glad to hear this painting sold through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I was excited about pursuing these color schemes and autumnal emotions but time keeps pushing on.
The gallery still has a great collection of my art available. Great gallery in a really fun town.
Transcending (looking back)
This is an older painting that I sold three years ago. This time of year I am looking at past work as I begin work for the new year. I am always experimenting and trying to create something unique, beautiful and emotional.
Thunder (RIP 2023)
My final post of 2023. One of my favorite recent works. A celebration of mother nature and the beauty of the Northwest!
