I snuck off to the studio a bit over the weekend. This small cloudscape was the fruit of my efforts. I will start the week with a bit more time dedicated to the sky above.
Evening Glow
A new painting, this one was completed over the weekend. Summer tends to get busy with visitors and all the distractions beautiful weather brings. I am trying to carve out as much time to paint as I am able. I always want to be in the studio, I feel restless and adrift when I am not.
Rivers Edge
A small painting on the easel. I love the mark making and flow that this little painting exhibits. More ideas to pursue…”
Eternity’s Edge (reels)
This new painting is now complete. I love painting dramatic sky scapes and seascapes. I still need to sign, varnish and frame so a bit more to do. If I end up shipping this to a client or gallery that is another step!
Chaos and Beauty
This small painting really connected with me. I love to create tension and movement when I paint. I have placed this on one of my studio shelves for further reflection. A massive version would be pretty compelling.
Tomorrow
A new painting on the easel in my studio today! I continue my obsession with atmosphere, light and lakes of the north. I wish I could hold onto the moments and feelings. Painting is the only way I know.
Studio (I like it)
I worked with an architect to design my studio. I am now 7 years in on this dream. I’m always seeing things I want to change. The truth is I am super fortunate to have such a great creative space. A place to focus my skills and imagination. Restless as my spirit is, I would still hate to walk away. Time doesn’t stop and work continues until it doesn’t.
Beyond
A large seascape in the studio. I love empty atmospheric paintings. This is a landscape void of land, filled with light. Check out the goofy reel to see it moving around in my studio!
Studio Gems
I have been rearranging and clearing out my studio for a few months. Trying to optimize the space and make it more aesthetically pleasing. Along the way I have found some forgotten paintings that I really like. These two were from 2018, They will be on display in my studio once again!
