A new dramatic painting. Exploring the magic and the mystery.
I love heavy atmosphere and dramatic lighting. The subject is endlessly fascinating and exciting to me. It always feels spiritual and intriguing.

Update (studio)
I am working on a few 18” x 24” paintings at the moment. I posted this one a bit ago, this is the latest update! Things are starting to click into place now, just a bit more refining ahead on this piece.
I sometimes consider selling everything and retiring to a smaller life… I just can’t stop doing what I do.
Scenes
Things have been pretty heavy. Trying to enjoy the light and the days. Here are a couple scenes from home.
Haunt
I really love this painting, one of my most recent pieces for my upcoming solo show. The exhibit is called “The Shadowland” it opens March 29th at Haven Gallery.
Winter Light
I have spent this week painting some small work. It is very satisfying finishing these little pieces so quickly, a bit of a break. I will be buying more small boards to work out ideas for larger paintings.
Dreamland
A new painting in the studio. This piece has such a dream like quality. It has a unique glow and feel, hate to send it away. This one will probably be part of my upcoming solo show at Haven Gallery. I am still painting and deciding on the collection for the exhibit, “The Shadow Land”.
Far Away
A new painting on the easel, inspiration from my home in Idaho. I am working on many new pieces at the moment, much more to come. I am ramping up for my ponchos at Haven Gallery. I am always painting but now with a specific bit of focus.
Easing Out
A meditative new painting. This piece really seemed to guide me, a bit of magic.
My solo show is coming up very quickly. I need to order frames and make decisions about which works will be attending. Still much more painting in mind as well.
Flow of Time
New Sky drama on the easel. Inspiration from my home in North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille is a constant source of visual motivation in my work.
Afterburn
I love the shift of light and color as a sunset turns to dusk. This is a new painting on my studio workbench inspired by those late hours that are beautiful and touched with melancholy.
