A meditative little waterscape painting on a dark Friday morning. I am still painting these 12”x16” boards… I will have to switch it up a bit. Enjoy the weekend.

Mountain Blue
The beauty of the lake is a constant source of inspiration. Magical lighting and moments that disappear far too quickly.
Reflections
I am continuing my collection of smaller 12”x16” acrylic paintings. I have prepared a lot of boards this size and want to use them all before I move onto larger work. Seeking inspiration from my own work to pursue some larger pieces, that is my plan. My part of the world is my ultimate muse, the use of paint a close rival.
Chill of Time
I am continuing to capture the feelings of February. The daylight is stretching and our winter snow is receding. I know winter has not finished with us.
Promise
Winter continues to paint my world. I was not planning more winter scenes but it is drawing me in with its silent magic.
Color Box Water (TBT)
This painting was sold through Momentum Gallery a couple years back. Great gallery and a successful solo exhibit, all of the paintings were sold!!
I decided to take the year of from solo exhibits for the first time in nearly a decade. I am focusing on commissions and providing work to my favorite galleries. I am hoping to do another solo show in Asheville in 2024… hopefully I can attend that one. I hear nothing but love for that community and area.
Winter Dream
A new winter scene on the studio easel. I love nature, it is a constant source of inspiration and joy. I tend to use nature as a jumping off point. My paintings tend to be fantastical dreamscapes, this is a good example. The paint is also the subject, I obsess over paint blending and mark making.
Drift Away (WIP)
A new painting, probably finished but I am setting on my newly installed studio shelf while I switch gears and turn it up to 11.
Low Sun (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn that this painting sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I am painting a lot of forest scenes these days. No plans, I follow my enthusiasm… my number one rule. Really the only rule I adhere to, I dislike rules.
Winter Guards (SOLD)
I was happy to sell this new painting to a collector in Denver. The painting is on canvas panel so I skipped the floater frame and went with a different style… lucky he also loved the gold frame!
