A morning walk around Copenhagen, Denmark. It’s always interesting to spend time alone walking in a new place imagining another life. So many possibilities in this short time we have. I am not a city person, I crave nature and peaceful places but fantasies are entertaining.

Through Darkness (revisit)
Another look at this painting. A look at it in the studio in video form. I find myself “stuck” in Europe due to a family medical emergency. I was eager to get back to my work in the studio but life is filled with the unexpected.
Rivers Edge
A small painting on the easel. I love the mark making and flow that this little painting exhibits. More ideas to pursue…”
Late Times (revisit)
This emotional landscape is available through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I have found these dramatic and surreal paintings as an amazing emotional release from the endless anxiety.
Higher Art
This painting is now at Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan. It is part of a group exhibit this summer. I was happy to be invited, managed to find the time.
Chaos and Beauty
This small painting really connected with me. I love to create tension and movement when I paint. I have placed this on one of my studio shelves for further reflection. A massive version would be pretty compelling.
Beginning
I have 6 square 18” boards that I am painting at the moment. Continuing to chase moody atmospherics. This one is still a work in progress but it is getting there.
Eternity’s Edge
This is one of a few large atmospheric paintings I am currently working on in the studio. I recently returned from a long cruise, more ocean related adventures coming this summer. Adventures take me away from the studio but they also fuel my desires.
Through Darkness
A moody new painting on the easel. Inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho.
Spring’s Promise (final)
The finished painting of “Spring’s Promise”. I am leaning into the beauty of the lake and sunshine as our temperatures in North Idaho are suddenly skyrocketing. When I started this painting the snow was piled up, now it is in the mud 80’s… big change in a month.
