November 1st I will have a drawing to giveaway this color study to one lucky subscriber on my Instagram account. I am considering doing this every month if it goes well. Subscription is 99¢ a month.
This is all an experiment. I have found making a living as an artist requires a lot of hustle and alternate income sources. I would love to hear from other artists… how do you make ends meet?
This painting really captures the low light color show I see up here in North Idaho. This painting is currently available through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
This new painting is now available through the Grande Bohemian Gallery in St. Augustine, Florida! This one has an incredible sense of atmosphere and light when you see it in person… never really comes across here.
A recent painting that was sold through The Grand Bohemian Gallery in St. Augustine, Fl. Hopefully the gallery wasn’t damaged by hurricane Ian.
This is a painting that draws inspiration from a Rembrandt etching of the same name. It will be part of a group show at Haven Gallery in New York late October. I am not allowed to show the final art until the show opens!
Travelers Time (SOLD)
18”x24”, acrylic
So pleased to have sold this to a collector in Florida! Frighteningly it was somehow delivered to the wrong address but luckily found it’s way home! Shipping is so expensive nowadays yet risky… now a very scary hurricane headed to Florida. I hope everyone is safe.
I was excited to hear that this painting sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery as soon as it was unpacked!
I have decided to take next year off from the solo show grind. I am going to send work as it is made to a handful of galleries I enjoy working with. Holding onto work for a show is exciting, to see a large collection hanging together. Shows are also stressful and an all your eggs in one basket proposition. My new plan affords me the freedom to make small collections with no specific goal or destination.
This painting was sold through the Grand Bohemian Gallery in St. Augustine, Florida. I recently signed a contract with their sister gallery in North Carolina. I am excited and super grateful for these opportunities.
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
It has been a tough financial year for the art business. I am super appreciative of the sales both direct to collectors and through the great galleries that represent me.
Three new paintings have just arrived at Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming! From biggest to smallest they are titled; Drift of Thought, Chasing and Morning.
I am in the middle of prepping more work for a Florida gallery and one private sale. I had hoped to finish it all this weekend but it has not happened.
