This is a piece that is currently drying. The sky is very soft but the foreground has an interesting dappled texture because the paint beaded up as it started to dry. Odd result but kind of interesting… I’m always excited by unusual paint behavior!

Oregon
I took a fun trip to Astoria, Oregon this weekend. The town has a number of interesting art galleries and has a great artsy vibe. When you catch the elusive sunny weather it is beautiful!
Churning
This is a 20″x20″ acrylic painting. I did a few months ago and added it to the scrap heap of misfit paintings. I pulled it out the other day and find I like it a bit better now.
Shoal (FIN)
Here is the completed version of the painting!
acrylic 16″x16″
Shoal (WIP)
I’m continuing on with more dream like landscape paintings. This one is also a 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
I will finish the painting this week and post a proper photograph then!
Early Morning (FIN)
I completed the 16″x16″ acrylic painting that I was working on last week. It has a real glow in person.
Pond Friends
We have had a run of unusually warm weather for Early April. Into the 80’s already?!?!
One benefit to the warmth is watching the critters in my pond really wake up with the warming water temperatures. The pond is home to koi, goldfish, catfish, turtles, frogs, crayfish, trapdoor snails and a lot of insect life. I took this short video to give you a glimpse into the world. Notice a turtle appears center frame!
Early Morning
I am starting work on some new pieces. These are all going to be 16″x16″ acrylic paintings.
Dreamy lake imagery, atmospheric and calm. This is the first one mostly finished but still a work in progress.
Pendleton road trip!
I went to Pendleton for my second solo art show. This is something I was selected for about a year ago and have been working towards the event with a lot of enthusiasm. I am seeking out more solo exhibitions for art exposure but also my love of road trips and adventure.
The show
Here are a few shots from the show just before the opening! It was a fun time met a lot of great local art patrons!
