I sold this large painting through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I will be returning to the gallery in June 2022 for a new solo exhibit at the gallery! in the meantime I am trying to finish up some new pieces for the gallery to tide them over (ugh that pun).
From my studio I can see smoke tendrils rising from the mountains. Larger plumes of smoke in the area are adding to the constant pollution. We were fortunate to get a couple days of rain recently. It was magical and smelled so good. I didn’t want it to stop.

I am continuing to paint some modest sized panels I have prepped. Slowly building a collection of paintings that I will be sending out to a few select galleries in the coming months.
Some large paintings in the studio here in Idaho. They are now on display at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, NC.
A small painting on the easel in my studio today. I am working on a number of smaller pieces at the moment. Larger work will follow.

I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I am also excited to announce my 2022 solo show will be at RiverSea Gallery next summer!
Like many people, during the pandemic I thought a lot about the time I have and how I use it. For a decade I have had numerous solo shows and group exhibits each year. Moving forward I will be having one major solo show per year. I will only be sending my artworks to a select number of galleries. I intend to focus my efforts.
I often think of myself as a painter of psychological landscapes. As much as I hate to label myself this is a description I have found suits my enthusiasms and interests. Painting is only worthwhile if it is in pursuit of some larger meaning, that is what keeps me digging.
This sunset painting is available with Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Summer nights on the lake are magical yet fleeting. They never get old and always inspire.
