My newest nocturne painting in the studio. This is the third painting in this series on 18” cradled wood panels.
I am working on a series of 18” moon paintings, this is the first in the collection. I named it “mountain moon”, it occurred to me later those words together sounded like a song… Flyin’ Shoes, great song by a legendary artist.
Townes Van Zandt – Flyin’ Shoes
Day’s full of rain
Sky’s coming down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby it won’t be long
‘Fore I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
‘Til I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Spring only sighed
Summer had to be satisfied
Fall is a feeling
That I just can’t lose
I’d like to stay
Maybe watch a winter day
Turn the green water
To white and blue
Flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
‘Til I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
The mountain moon
Forever sets too soon
Being alone
Is all the hills can do
Alone and then
Her silver sails again
And they will follow in
Their flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
And they will follow in
Their flyin’ shoes
This is one of three paintings I have in the “La Lune III” show at Haven Gallery in Northport, New York. The show opened over the weekend, this painting was sold.
There is just something about a campfire. I finished this small acrylic painting today. Beyond the hypnotic nature of flames, the paint in this one feels a bit hypnotic.
This is a painting from a number of years ago. Last weekend we were fortunate enough to witness a big “Northern Lights” show up here in North Idaho!!!
A recent painting that was sold through The Grand Bohemian Gallery in St. Augustine, Fl. Hopefully the gallery wasn’t damaged by hurricane Ian.
This new painting is varnished framed and now packed in a giant box. It is accompanying two much larger paintings shipping to Florida. They are going to a gallery I work with called “The Grand Bohemian Gallery” in St. Augustine, Florida.
I new moonlight painting in my studio. I have been working on a few of these pieces recently. I sold a couple of them but this one might be bound for a group exhibit. Time will tell as it seems to do.
Final studio capture of this nocturnal painting. Just last night I had to stop and stare at a crescent moon. Nineteen degrees at night it still stopped me in my tracks. I took a moment to just absorb the vastness.
