This is a series of three paintings I am calling “New Tides I, II, & III”. These paintings are 24″x 24″ acrylic paintings. More large work for my upcoming show in January!
New Tides

Pend Oreille Inspired
Four 10″x10″ acrylic paintings inspired by my new home water in North Idaho!
Transitions
It is hard not to let my surroundings dictate my imagery. I’m wrapped up in the beauty of North Idaho, currently a huge inspiration. I’m not one to feel like simply capturing reality is the ultimate goal but for now it’ll do.
Sunlight
I am continuing to paint waves and water. This painting is a 10″x10″ acrylic piece. I plan on working on some larger paintings again at some point but space limitations are still keeping things small in scale!
Four Small Studies
Four very small pieces, 6″ x 6″, acrylic paintings. Continuing on with smaller art due to work space limitations. I am planning on doing some 10″ pieces next as these little guys don’t allow for room to roam.
Wave Studies
I have completed a couple of small sketchy wave studies in acrylic paint. I am planning on doing a fairly extensive waterscape/landscape series and these were just quick little works to try a few things out.
Schweitzer Mountain
I am finally living in North Idaho. Not really moved in and there are a lot of giant loose ends but I’m catching the tail end of summer!
My sister and her family came out for my first official week here. We took a really fun outing up Schweitzer Mountain. We road the chair lift up to the 6,400 foot summit then hiked down 2.5 miles (2,440 feet elevation change) to the ski village. It was a breathtaking vista and a beautiful sunny day. We carried to go cup drinks up the chair lift and snacked on mountain huckleberries most of the way down the mountain.
What a great day!
Art Show
Made the trip to Eugene for the Maude Kerns Art Center. Fun times but very hot!
4th of July weekend!
Spent a long weekend enjoying Sandpoint, Idaho! Swimming, hiking, kayaking and fishing… Great way to celebrate!
The Rain
I shipped off a little painting I sold through ugallery. A very fancy shipping box as you can see!
