I revisited this large painting. Now it has the gravitas I was aiming for!
This piece will most likely be part of my upcoming solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I am still working on paintings and making decisions.
I finished this painting yesterday. I started it late last year but it needed a bit of glazing and a couple of tweaks. This one is fairly simple but has such a mesmerizing glow and presence.
This 16” x 20” painting is on the smaller side. I have a number of large scale paintings in the works so this was a nice diversion.
Final painting of 2025, here is hoping for a peaceful 2026.
Finishing one last painting before Christmas! Like many people I will be spending time with family and friends over the holidays. I am so excited to see people that I love that I don’t see as often as I would like. It is also difficult for me to take time away from the studio, my obsessive nature no doubt.
More inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. I have been living on the lake for nearly a decade. The beauty is always an inspiration. I am always chasing the light in my art. The world feels so very dark far too often.
I have some small works available through Momentum gallery in Asheville, North Carolina! This was a personal favorite in the collection.

A new painting in the studio, I think I can almost hear this one. I am currently painting on some larger panels which is really a treat.
A new painting in the studio today. This piece is a love letter to light and atmosphere. A few images from the easel.
A serene new painting in the studio. I really enjoy working on these 18” x 24” boards, a very manageable size. I am excited to start on much larger paintings in the near future!!
A new painting, freshly finished in the studio. I am working on a few 18” x 24” panels at the moment. Much more to come.
