The moon is always so beautiful, such an intriguing subject. I wanted to capture the last fade of sunlight as the night takes over the hours. I just finished this piece, it may be part of my upcoming solo show, decision time is at hand.

Easing Out
A meditative new painting. This piece really seemed to guide me, a bit of magic.
My solo show is coming up very quickly. I need to order frames and make decisions about which works will be attending. Still much more painting in mind as well.
The High Light
A new painting I finished shortly before the Christmas Holiday. Love the feel of this piece, I definitely plan to pursue more work with this atmospheric feel.
Darkening
Dark psychological landscapes are always an intriguing subject. I just finished this piece, definitely echoing the vibe. It grows darker by the day.
On and On (revisit)
I posted this painting a while back but wasn’t entirely happy with it. A bit more saturation and detail and now it is complete!
Grand
Another new painting in the studio today. This one has been in the works for a little while. I am very pleased with that big sky feeling of this piece. I am starting to get a solid collection of work in my studio. Unfortunately none of it really works with my upcoming March show… but I follow my passions so the show will reveal itself in time.
Glow (again)
A bit more detail work and color glazing. Now this painting is finished!
I am really enjoying working on larger paintings again. While I am painting I am continuing to prepare new wood panels. When winter rolls around I will be stocked up just like the squirrels.
Giants
I have always loved watching clouds and weather systems rolling through. I very often find myself echoing nature in my studio, it is the heart of my work.
This is one of the many small paintings I have done in the last couple months. Today I am moving onto my first 18” x 24” painting in a number of months. Excited to get back to a larger scale.
Moonshine
A new nocturne painting in the studio. I really love the mood of this piece. I might pursue some larger variations on this theme.
Kootenai
New painting in the studio this morning. I am continuing to work on small panels in my scattered summer days. When fall rolls around I will be working on large work based on my favorite ideas.
