Three new paintings being shipped to three new homes in three different states. I am grateful to my collectors and art enthusiasts. I am fortunate to make my living doing what I love.

Seasons End (SOLD)
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.
Clarity (going home)
This new painting has been varnished and framed and is headed to its new home back east. I am putting together a collection of small pieces for a number of galleries… but I also sell directly to clients.
Evening Rose (Sold)
I just received word that this painting was sold at my solo show. The exhibit wraps up September 8th at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
Eastern Song (Florida)
I finished this commission and have shipped it to its new home in Florida. I don’t take on too many commissions but I find myself with a few in the works at the moment.
Small Comfort (Denver)
This small painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I did a series of three little campfire paintings.
Eastern Song
I am nearly finished with my latest commission. It was a very specific size and dimension so I custom built a cradled board to the exact measurement that the client requested. I use to outsource the woodworking aspect but people have become both unreliable and horribly expensive (winning combination). So now I do everything in-house right down to the framing.
After the board was finished I sanded it down as smooth as possible. I put four or five layers of gesso onto the wood. Finally it is time to do the painting!
It is always satisfying when the buyer is excited by the finished work. The final steps will be signing, edge detail and varnish… then packing and shipping!
Color Box Water 🔴
This painting has sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It is part of my ongoing solo show that ends September 8th.
By Fire (Astoria)
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I am also excited to announce my 2022 solo show will be at RiverSea Gallery next summer!
Like many people, during the pandemic I thought a lot about the time I have and how I use it. For a decade I have had numerous solo shows and group exhibits each year. Moving forward I will be having one major solo show per year. I will only be sending my artworks to a select number of galleries. I intend to focus my efforts.
Drift Tomorrow
This painting is available through Ugallery. I have sold work through this online site for many years.
