I sold this large painting through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I will be returning to the gallery in June 2022 for a new solo exhibit at the gallery! in the meantime I am trying to finish up some new pieces for the gallery to tide them over (ugh that pun).
From my studio I can see smoke tendrils rising from the mountains. Larger plumes of smoke in the area are adding to the constant pollution. We were fortunate to get a couple days of rain recently. It was magical and smelled so good. I didn’t want it to stop.
A small painting on the easel in my studio today. I am working on a number of smaller pieces at the moment. Larger work will follow.
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I am also excited to announce my 2022 solo show will be at RiverSea Gallery next summer!
Like many people, during the pandemic I thought a lot about the time I have and how I use it. For a decade I have had numerous solo shows and group exhibits each year. Moving forward I will be having one major solo show per year. I will only be sending my artworks to a select number of galleries. I intend to focus my efforts.
I was happy to learn that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. This one is part of my solo show which runs through September 6th.
My next solo exhibition will be next summer. I do not have the dates yet but it will be with a gallery that represents me on the Oregon coast. The gallery is a long running art gallery in Astoria, called RiverSea Gallery!
Final studio photograph of this painting. It has officially arrived in Asheville, North Carolina at Momentum Gallery. Now they have the hard work of hanging my solo show for Friday night’s opening!
Pink is the star of this painting. This piece is another contender for my solo show at Momentum Gallery. I am in the last month of work with a lot of distractions!
I started another Instagram account @cult_of_doodle. These images are a sample from that site.
I do a lot of quick studies, material experimentation and intuitive work that I never post. That new site is a place to show some other types of work. Have a great weekend.
This painting is part of “The Woodland” exhibit. The gallery is physically opening this Friday in Traverse City, Michigan!!!
Sending some paintings off to three new homes. I am thankful for the sales.
