Another one of my mini paintings that will be heading to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I have done 10 of these little guys in 2020.

Color Shifts
As I write this we are buried in snow. It’s such a dramatic and beautiful change to the scenery. Of course it also pretty challenging at times!
I made a YouTube video about the creation of this painting. Check out my channel if you get a chance!
Euphoria Morning
Taking a little break from my forest and snow painting. Just a brief break as the snowpocalypse makes it hard to forget!
Along the Shadowed Ridge
A painting inspired by the ridge that blocks much of the low winter sun. We have loads of snow coming which is inspiring a lot of winter artwork this year.
Though the daylight is brief the combination of snow and moon last night made for a magical evening. I guess it’s only a matter of time before I paint some large moonlight related imagery.
Guide
Work in progress on this snowbound passage.
Netherlands Bound
Another one of my mini paintings. This piece is off to the Netherlands.
January Blanket
Starting a series of paintings focusing on the forest. I live in snow country so there will be some winter imagery, don’t be alarmed.
Great Light
This is a pretty special piece. One of those paintings that felt like it held some kind of magic. I know when I feel that way I have to put it aside.
Winter’s Glow
The other day we received 8″ of snow. It is always startling to wake up to such a dramatic shift in the world.
I abandoned what I was working on in the studio and did a couple moody snow scenes. Fun capturing the vibe right outside my window.
Low Sun / small work
I am painting a group of 5″x5″ paintings for an upcoming exhibit with Abend Gallery. In the future I want to work on a mix of tiny and large paintings. Small works are such a great way to experiment and play with color schemes etc.
