A new small painting completed this week. An ode to summer.

A Little Water
Three small water paintings freshly completed. I am putting together a pretty good collection of small works. Painting time has been pretty limited over the summer so these smaller pieces have been my focus. I work with a number of galleries that have “small works shows” in the fall. So I will be sending these smaller paintings all over the country in the coming months.
Moonshine
A new nocturne painting in the studio. I really love the mood of this piece. I might pursue some larger variations on this theme.
Passing (revisit)
This moody stormy painting was always a favorite. It is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina!

Mood
I am obsessed with moody landscapes. The feeling of vastness in stark contrast with your own limitations as a human.
This planet is filled with inspiration. I like mine a little haunted.
On and On
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.
Source
Always chasing light and atmosphere in my work. This one at a small scale.
I am continuing to work on smaller works for fall shows. The summer is rolling past at an astonishing pace.
Unseen
Taking an unplanned artistic excursion. Excited to see where this will take me. I have four 12” x 12” panels, I will do a collection!
Towers (another look)
This large painting has been hanging out in my studio for a few seasons. I almost sent it to my solo show in Asheville this May but decided to hang onto it for a little while.
Drift
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.
