I was happy to learn that this big painting sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It was inspired by a late season boat ride last fall… the approaching winter always breaks my heart a little. Much to love about the dark season, solitude and painting… still it always brings a little extra melancholy.
I have been varnishing this painting over the weekend. Once I get it framed I will be shipping it to Wyoming! It will be going to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole. This is a gallery I have been working with for years. Looking forward to getting more art over there.
This painting is part of my exhibit at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Just a few more weeks before the show closes… where has summer gone?
Clouds and light continue to fascinate and inspire. This is an energetic take inspired by the morning sun.
Today in the studio. Capturing a little bit of summer on a board. Our ground squirrels have already started hibernating and now the hummingbirds have vanished. It is still August, It all seems too soon.
Another 12” square on my easel. Priming a huge number of wood panels was definitely a good idea. I want to spend my time painting without all the prep work between moments at the easel.
Time is grinding us all back to star dust. I wish I could stockpile the good days.
This painting has sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It is part of my ongoing solo show that ends September 8th.
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.

My next solo exhibition will be next summer. I do not have the dates yet but it will be with a gallery that represents me on the Oregon coast. The gallery is a long running art gallery in Astoria, called RiverSea Gallery!
