One of two paintings I am finalizing for a group exhibit at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
Abend is a great gallery and it was nice to be invited to participate in this show! I am currently working on work for a show at another gallery so June is very busy.
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon!
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The town had a brutal year and I am so glad Momentum Gallery weathered the storm and grateful they represent me.
I posted this painting a while back but wasn’t entirely happy with it. A bit more saturation and detail and now it is complete!
Yesterday I shipped off this new painting to an art collector in Massachusetts! The buyer chose no frame but rather gold leaf edges (visible in the video). This all resulted in a lovely piece. The downside is I have gold flakes all over the studio floor.
Painting time was pretty limited this summer. I focused on small paintings that I could finish in shorter work windows. I finally used my last small panel!
A new seascape in the studio. Much of the subtlety doesn’t make it across in photographs, a common complaint I know. After working on so many tiny paintings this summer it was nice to give myself some larger space to explore.
The nonstop small painting continues. This painting has inspired me to work on a couple of 18” x 24” paintings of a similar vibe. I am interested in pushing the moody nature of this piece at a grander scale.
One of twenty paintings that will be available through my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The exhibit opens tomorrow!
A new painting on the easel. The days are gray and the snow is bring washed away with the rains. This painting is January.
