This painting is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It combines some of my favorite elements, dynamic light, clouds and atmospheric landscape… plus water of course! Endless inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho.
A new painting in the studio. We have had some pretty spectacular sunsets of late. I was inspired to capture that ethereal fade of light.
I am preparing a lot of small boards and will be painting many small works this summer.
I love the night and lonesome moon. I am not unique, you feel it too.

This meditative painting is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I have a lot of imagery in my mind along this line. I hope to do some larger format paintings in the near future.
I love the moody storms that blow across Lake Pend Oreille, particularly in the summer. The clear blue sky overtaken by huge ominous clouds. Hope for rain and worry about the lightning. It’s all a huge inspiration to my work, the reason I moved here so many years ago.
As a bit of a reset I am currently painting some small boards ranging from the size of this painting to 12” x 16”. Once I have a bit of a collection I will switch back to larger format painting. Small paintings are a nice way to investigate ideas and techniques a bit more quickly. More to come!
A photo of me with “Through Darkness” just before I shipped it to Momentum Gallery. This painting is part of my solo show on view through June 22nd in Asheville, North Carolina.
This painting is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It is part of my ongoing solo exhibit.
The 24” square format is a pretty satisfying size to paint. Plenty of room for expression with a real sense of presence. I will definitely doing more work on these wood panels moving forward!
A new painting in the studio today. This large vertical painting captures the Lake Pend Oreille mood of late spring. I love watching the atmospheric qualities shift on the lake, it was the inspiration.
Another look at this autumnal painting, available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
