Lately I have been working on some small paintings! I have some very large panels patiently waiting in the wings so stay tuned!

Big and Small
Painting some small works for an upcoming exhibit. Considering a new life as a hand model.
Awake (for a little while)
Water and light have always drawn me in. The endless shifting of shapes and colors has a meditative quality. Slowly you drift.
Later than you think
I accidentally made some kind of new fangled clock! Turns out it is later than I thought…
North… to Alaska
I am not going back to alaska anytime soon, sadly. This painting is a commission I am finalizing, inspired by Alaska. I would love to get back up there again!
Cold cold water
Just for fun I decided to paint some some small round paintings. I started with three owl portraits, which I displayed in a previous post. On my birthday I caught a massive mackinaw (lake trout) and decided to do some trout portraits! This is the newest painting, I love the strange dark vibe. I am going to do one more portrait and then wade back into my landscape work!
Mac the fish
I am painting a few trout portraits to honor our aquatic friends. I caught the largest trout of my life on my birthday. I always catch and release fish but they are netting these Mackinaw trout to reduce their numbers. They are serious predators and clearly get huge! This fish was 17.85 lbs and 36″ long! It is providing a lot of meals for the family!
Surf
Detail from a wave commission I am finishing. 50”x20”, I will be posting more from this.
Parliament
8” diameter acrylic
That’s right, a group of owls is called a parliament. I had to look it up, such a distinguished and appropriate title. Now they are generally solitary birds so this is pretty worthless trivia, still must remember!
In the round
I bought some 8″ round wooden boards to paint on. These have a back cradled frame and are really nice. Thought it would be fun to do some portraits!
I am also using some art supplies given to me by Jerry’s Artarama. They sent me a lot of fun materials to play with.
