Spent the day in Astoria Oregon. They have a really great Sunday market with a lot of food, crafts and wine.
We ended up at the beach down by Gearhart Oregon. All the hot weather was forgotten once that ocean air started blasting us.

These two paintings were just varnished. Some final studio photography!

This is an older piece. An experiment in texture, color and paint application. The results were interesting but chaotic.

This is an older painting, when blackbirds were a bit of a series. Once again I was building up heavy textured imagery.

This is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting. I think I am pretty much finished with this particular painting. Minimalist landscape painting is intriguing to me, I hope to do a lot more work along these lines.


This is an especially contemporary acrylic painting for me. I was experimenting with materials and ideas with no clear destination.
I won’t lead the viewer, I had a lot of ideas when painting and composing this image. Now looking at the finished piece I have other ideas. What does this painting say to you?
