Another painting inspired by Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. This one has some lovely and subtle color transitions. I have found it difficult to get an accurate photo of the painting but this easel shot wasn’t bad.

October Skies
The days are getting shorter but they have been incredibly beautiful.
Prelude
This painting is off to it’s new home today. There is an idyllic dream quality that is compelling and surreal about this one. Like a memory that is just a little too sweet to be entirely real.
Falling Light
The glowing sun hides behind the forested ridge. I love that blast of light, the atmosphere charged once more as the sun is disappearing. The trees losing their details in the transition.
Shoreline Silhouettes
Atmosphere and light are always a source of inspiration. I am working on a number of paintings relating to the subtle shifts I am observing in North Idaho.
Haley Bay
A little landscape from my neck of the woods. The natural world always providing ample drama and inspiration.
Captured Images (a small collection)
Collecting high resolution photographs of your art is critical. At the very least it is something worth looking at later to see how your work has changed and hopefully evolved. I frequently fail to capture images of my paintings and it’s a shame to sell work without retaining a digital version.
Over the weekend I did manage to take some photographs of my recent works. These aren’t the highest resolution, I scaled them down for the website.
I was motivated by a deadline, it always seems to take a deadline!
Blue Above 11”x14”
An atmospheric cloudscape I just completed. The sky is a constant source of inspiration to me!
Low Sun
As we march forward into fall I have noticed the changes. The sun is lower in the sky and with more clouds it has made for some glorious skies. It also hits the lake shore with startling intensity at times. This is the inspiration for my most recent works. These forest paintings are 10″x8″.
Drifting East
Weather systems moving across Lake Pend Oreille as Fall closes in. Intense sun and deep shadows the landscape always shifting.
