Photographing some of my paintings this morning. Anything that isn’t painting feels like a distraction, but it is part of the gig.

Water can be a source of peace and tranquillity. I find when painting images like this I get lost in the work and it soothes my mind.

Three small paintings I did in preparation for the large commission I recently finished. These were a bit of an experiment with materials. For the final commission I stuck with acrylics but there are interesting roads to explore here.

I was pleased to hear this painting sold over the weekend. It was one of my favorite pieces at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.

A little mood on this Monday morning.

Intense colors and strong contrast really gives this painting a lot of impact.

One last study before starting a 36”x24” commission. This one is a loose take on the composition, values and colors. The large painting will be much more detailed but I love the loose vibe and motion of this small take.

This one resides in Kirkland, Washington with some of my favorite people.

More wave experiments before starting a large commission.
