Shipping out this large commission today. It is heading on a long journey to Florida! The photo was taken on my studio deck.
Morning Breaks (shipping)

Gates of Gold (revisiting)
A painting from December that has since sold. I plan to revisit this idea in a much larger format.
It Goes (Final)
This morning I captured some high resolution studio shots of some recent paintings. This is one of my favorite recent pieces.
Passing Through
Working on some new water pieces. I started with a tiny study to sort out the color scheme.
The Harbinger
Yesterday I heard this painting sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon! This piece is one of my favorites, a marriage of mystery and menace. The painting now lives in Portland, Oregon.
Blaze into Dark
I am painting a series of forest images featuring brooding skies. The low winter sun lighting up the trees in such a dark winter world is staggering.
Marking Time
A small waterscape painted on panel.
Abstraction (R.W.)
Simplification and abstraction, concepts I play with to varying degrees in my work. This little painting is all about the feel of light.
The Calling
I started this painting just about a year ago. I decided it was time to finish it or prep the surface for a new painting. I ended up adding some wave detail and strengthening the contrast.
The Air
I really like the color scheme and moody vibes of this painting. As I prepare a lot of giant boards I am going to be going back and forth between small paintings and huge panels. Ultimately I want to create more large scale epic works. The large pieces are much more expensive to make and end up with a large price tag so tougher to sell. Ultimately they are more satisfying and I aim to please myself.
