Two small paintings headed to this pop up gallery in Genesis, Idaho. It is a fall show and some of my fire paintings were requested!

Marking Time
The title of this painting is everything.
Hard to believe it is already the middle of October. The snow on the mountains and falling leaves certainly aren’t subtle reminders. I have been working on small paintings, experimenting and exploring. Now time is getting away from me so I have to get serious about my next solo show. I will be delivering work to Elliott Fouts Gallery in early January which seems soon!
Grand
Another painting inspired by Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. This one has some lovely and subtle color transitions. I have found it difficult to get an accurate photo of the painting but this easel shot wasn’t bad.
October Skies
The days are getting shorter but they have been incredibly beautiful.
Shoreline Silhouettes
Atmosphere and light are always a source of inspiration. I am working on a number of paintings relating to the subtle shifts I am observing in North Idaho.
Haley Bay
A little landscape from my neck of the woods. The natural world always providing ample drama and inspiration.
Blue Above 11”x14”
An atmospheric cloudscape I just completed. The sky is a constant source of inspiration to me!
Drifting East
Weather systems moving across Lake Pend Oreille as Fall closes in. Intense sun and deep shadows the landscape always shifting.
Throwback
The past two Thursdays I have revisited some paintings from last summer. These are each 24″x24″, I find TBT to be a bit of a lazy post but it is interesting to reflect on past work.
Shipping to Kuwait
Art sales are always a good thing in my line of work but there is something especially thrilling about sending my work abroad. I have traveled a bit in my life but now my artwork resides in many places I have never been. It feels a little like writing my initials in wet concrete, “I was once in this world”.
