Inspiration from the mountains of North Idaho. Summertime always slips away. The old cliches about time are all true.
The last nine years I have picked huckleberries hiking down from the top of Schweitzer, our local ski resort. This year it was a bit too early for the berries but it was still beautiful!
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.
I love weather systems moving across the lake. Expansive daylight with sunshine ahead. This painting is bound for Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
A new painting in the studio today. It is always a strange feeling when you have shipped a years worth of work to a show. I dive back in and do what I do.
Final studio image of this painting. Now it is hanging with the rest of my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The exhibit opens today!
Another photo of my recent work before I packed them up. Twenty paintings headed to Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. My solo show opens May 9th.
Burning Hours has been framed and shipped, on its way to Asheville, North Carolina. One of twenty paintings in my soon to open solo show at Momentum Gallery.
I will miss seeing these paintings in the studio, it is suddenly very empty and boring. Back to work, much more painting ahead of me.
This is the final painting completed for my upcoming solo show. Now the busy work of photographing the 20 paintings and packing them up to ship. All of the artwork will be available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
A new painting, inspired by summer storms. We desperately need rain but it always tends to come with electricity!
A square of weather and meditation. As a child I never ever painted on a square surface. I have grown to appreciate the format in my later days. Square is so void as to feel extra blank. Now I find myself enjoying the possibilities.
