Shadowed
Shadowed
Darkness lurks along the edge. The brightest day may bloom from night. Left on a forgotten road it always finds the way.
Dark Thoughts
Dark Thoughts
It is a stream darkly meandering.
Negativity eroding the shore.
Stay dry, the current is strong.

I often hear about Holiday depression. This year I seem to be feeling it. A terrible dread and sense of hopelessness. Perhaps it is a chemical thing. Maybe something to do with the sun failing to rise above the hill. I posted something regrettable last night on WordPress, I am sorry for that. I hope everyone is doing well this Holiday Season.
Winter Way
This is the third painting in this little series. The painting is my favorite of the group because I am a fan of interesting mark making and simplicity. Creating something seemingly minimal and effortless is often incredibly difficult. This is where all of my years of painting work in my favor.
Forest Passages
Two moody forest scenes. I prepared so many 12” boards that I keep painting images this size! It is a fun scale to work on as it allows for a little quicker experimentation. Ultimately I need to move back to larger panels for my 2020 exhibits.
Breaking Sun
Winter sun is a precious thing. This is one of three little winter light studies I am working on.
December 10th
In honor of my sister’s birthday. Happy Birthday Julie!
Winter Weight
Storms keep rolling across Lake Pend Oreille. Sometimes winter feels cozy other times isolating. The beauty is undeniable.
Blue Embrace
In my life I have felt like a negative soul. Still it seems the act of creation is an act of optimism.
Heroes
Heroes
We noticed your shuffle. My hero years shorter. I am your failed echo. My own dragging an imitation.
