The magic of spring when the grass is still green and growing. The days expanding and the outdoors beckon.
All the world is green

Through the frame
Another small painting! The brush partly for scale, mostly for painting.
Abend Gallery
I am sending three 5″x5″ paintings to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They are having a small works show and asked if I had time to paint any. These are in the mail on their way now!
A little magic
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!
