A bit more color glaze and this one is now finished. Signed, varnished and framed in a floater. Packed up for my show on Vashon Island.

This tall painting is bound for my upcoming show on Vashon Island. Inspired by the shocking beauty of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park.

Some new prints available at http://www.minted.com
It is fun to play around with sizes and framing options on their website!

I am frantically varnishing and finalizing paintings for my upcoming show. I need to deliver it in less than one week!
In the meantime I sold a couple of small paintings so I am boxing them up today. I was going to bring them to my exhibit but you have to take sales when you can. I have turned down a few sales recently on some of the bigger pieces going to the show but these two are small so what the heck.

I am a constant observer of the sky and water. Trying to capture the feeling of those magical fleeting moments.

Well it’s the weekend everybody! Actually for me it’s just another morning in the studio. I really wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am preparing work for my Vashon Island exhibit opening October 4th. I am also playing around with some small semi haunted forest paintings.

I took a proper photo of this painting for my upcoming show on Vashon Island.

As an artist I often feel compelled to make work. This year I created s body of work called “Apocalyptic Bloom”. They weren’t paintings the the galleries representing me wanted. It is not artwork that my average collector would be into. Still I took this side road that represented a large part of 2019. I will always follow my artistic curiosities and interests.
This painting is on display at the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. A new gallery to represent me since I started the journey.

Nature and art are both free of sentimentality, somehow I am not.

Final capture of this painting that I am prepping for my upcoming Vashon Island exhibit.
