Dramatic low light of the season has resulted in some gorgeous sunsets on Lake Pend Oreille. It is sad to say goodbye to the warm weather but I am enjoying all of the beauty of the season. Preparing more 18” x 24” boards for new work.

Golden Days
Two more small paintings, exploring that beautiful fade of day. The final blast of light highlighting the clouds just as the crickets start their song.
Seasons End
I am continuing my efforts on small panels. Exploring ideas and moods before moving onto larger format paintings. Stay tuned!
September Fade
More small paintings in the studio. This one was inspired by a great September road trip last weekend. Fall brings beauty and melancholy.
I will continue working on these small pieces and see where they take me.
Journey of Light
I am digging in and getting it after. Starting with small concepts so that I can work on bigger pieces in the dark months. This piece has a lot of intriguing qualities worth further exploration! My next solo show is spring 2026 so I will be very busy.
Springs Promise (Missoula)
This is a special piece to me. I held onto it for a couple years as it felt so alive and inspiring in the studio. It is now framed and available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana!
Towers (last look)
This large painting is available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana! This is part of the “Fathom” show ending September 6th.

End in Gold
A new painting on the studio easel today. I always crave this kind of melancholic beauty. Something lovely and a little heartbreaking. I am currently splitting my time between 18” x 24” and some tiny 8” x 10” paintings. Exploring and trying to find new light.
Together (Montana)
I really love this piece. It feels like a visit to dreamland. The painting is now available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana!
Summer Blue
One of three very small paintings I am currently working on. The atmosphere and color scheme are the common thread.
I will post the full collection when it is completed!
