The first 16″x16″ painting I have done for a while. It is nice to have a bit more room and surface to play with. I will be painting a bunch of these and some much larger paintings soon as well.

Kootenai Valley
Two small works inspired by a scenic part of North Idaho. It is fun exploring more of the landscape I have moved into. Every mini road trip brings something new!
Revival
This little painting came together quickly and had a bit of magic in my mind. It is another 10″x10″ acrylic painting.
Now that I have been painting in the attic for a bit I have it somewhat organized. I am going to paint a half dozen more pieces this size and then move up to some larger works finally!
Across the way
A painting I did over the weekend. Acrylic 10″x 10″ using a brush, knife and squeegee. I am aiming to let the simple marks stand and resonate. Sometimes simple work is surprisingly difficult to do. I want my paintings to have a fresh immediacy so my tendency to overwork and muddle is being shelved (in theory).
Two works
A couple of mood pieces I recently completed. Both paintings are 10″x10″acrylic.
I spent much of the morning prepping some more boards and starting on a new image.
I am trying to organize the attic space so that it is an easier space in which to work. Dark and cold it is still a place I love to be!
Delicate Light
Continuing in with my small studies. I have now moved my painting location from a shed (torn down) to a crazily dark and often cold attic space. This is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting I recently painted by dim light. I need to move onto to much larger paintings for a show I have early next year… I have also introduced more lamps and a small heater so hoping I can get a lot done above the house!
Autumn Sun
Autumn is here, somehow another summer slipped away. I decided to celebrate the change of season with a study in autumn light. This semi abstracted landscape is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting.
Pend Oreille Inspired
Four 10″x10″ acrylic paintings inspired by my new home water in North Idaho!
Transitions
It is hard not to let my surroundings dictate my imagery. I’m wrapped up in the beauty of North Idaho, currently a huge inspiration. I’m not one to feel like simply capturing reality is the ultimate goal but for now it’ll do.
Three Water Paintings
Here are three paintings I have recently completed. A meditation on rippling water reduced to 10″x10″ acrylic paintings.
