This 16″x16″ painting was part of the 27 painting collection I delivered yesterday. The solo show is in Longview, Wa at the Lower Columbia College. The exhibit will run from February 14th through March 14th.

The High and Low
I seem to be painting a lot of clouds these days. Giant powerful and full of mood they have always fascinated me so I am simply following my interests. This particular painting is 16″x16″ acrylic / open acrylic painting on cradled board.
As a painter I am striving to paint work that feels unique and new with a fresh vibrant use of color and mark making. The goal is a bit like shooting at the moon, I realize it is impossible but it doesn’t stop me. This particular painting is simple but encapsulates a lot of what I am striving for.
Dimming Light
This 24”x 18” painting has shipped off to a collector in San Francisco, CA. I was saving it for one of my two looming show deadlines but a fella has to make some money when he can!
This painting really has a beautiful apocalyptic vibe which was fun in the studio, plus we find ourselves at 2 minutes to midnight. Hopefully, the purchaser will enjoy this piece in the remaining two minutes!
Big Open
30″x24″ this painting is going to a solo show at the Lower Columbia College in Longview, Wa. There are 27 paintings going to this show!
Drifting On
This is a 24″x30″ painting I recently got back from a local show. I regretted not getting a proper photograph of it before the show but now I have one! This one is bound for A solo show on Bainbridge Island in a month!
Morning Glow
This 24″x18″ painting has a loose quality I really like. I have chosen it to promote my upcoming show on Bainbridge Island. Currently I am completing work for a different show in Longview but I am planning for both!
The High and Low
This 16″x16″ acrylic painting is fresh from yesterdays easel. I took a break from the work required for the two upcoming solo shows and just enjoyed the process of creating… it is after all everything.
Distant Light
This is a painting I have entered into the “large formats” contest on minted. It is 24″x30″, if you want to help me out give it a vote with the attached link!
Easy Days
This 24″x30″ painting is a little glimpse of summer in the middle of our winter.
Winter’s Water
Once again trying to capture the feeling of snow falling on the lake. This is another 24″x30″ acrylic painting on panel.
Mark making is always an important element in my painting process. I was pleased with the results on this piece. The suggestion of movement and precipitation is there but it also has an expressive quality that elevates the image.
