One of fifteen new paintings ready to pack up and send to Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
My Dad and I will be heading out on a Montana road trip together to drop off all of this work.
Summer Storm
Tag: storm
Weight of Years
A bit of crimson and gray on the easel, perhaps a dragon. I am continuing my work on 18” x 24” panels, very fun scale to work at.
I have show coming up this summer at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I have a long way to go, not a lot of time.
Passing (revisit)
This moody stormy painting was always a favorite. It is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina!

Churn
This is one of my favorites from the lightning series I recently finished. Considering doing a much larger variation on this theme.
Strike
A new painting, inspired by summer storms. We desperately need rain but it always tends to come with electricity!
Electric
This new painting will be heading to Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina. One of two paintings I will be exhibiting in their “Cloudy” show opening on August 4th.
Burn WIP
I have been painting on 11”x14” boards. Loose and bold storm related imagery. Aiming to catch light, exhilaration and motion. I am pleased with the results. I learned years ago I am the only one I need to please, and I’m a difficult critic!
Deeply (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. It was an older piece I had nearly forgotten about, a nice surprise.
Sky Electric
I am starting a new series of cloud paintings featuring a bit of electricity! I have a number of 11”x14” canvas panels and decided to do a deep dive on the subject. If I am still excited upon their completion I may do a very large painting on the theme. I follow my own enthusiasm always.
Breaking
Winter has come roaring back to North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille is freezing and snow is piling up. I was shifting away from my winter paintings, but here is a new one! I do love the dramatic lighting when the sunlight is breaking through the trees in the winter months.
