Beauty and Sorrow
Atmosphere and lighting are often components of my paintings that drive my work. Finding form yet maintaining a sense of mystery.
I have often come back to sunsets as a subject. Of course it is an undeniably beautiful transition but there is also a bit of sadness. Everything ends, we all know this and we are endlessly reminded. I guess that is part of the appeal of sunsets, the wedding of beauty and sorrow.
Closing
I have been painting a lot of sunsets lately. Trying to capture the color shifts and play of light and atmosphere is something I am obsessed with!
Color and a Touch of Colour
I have been pretty obsessed with the sunrises and sunsets on Lake Pend Oreille. Conveniently I have a tough time sleeping during normal hours so that makes it easier to witness the incredibly early dawn.
Not to complain but I’m always a little sad after the summer solstice. The first official day of summer is also when the daylight starts to dwindle. That’s life in a nutshell.
Colorful Endings
Another new painting bound for my show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Smalls (you’re killing me)
Another one of my small paintings. I found these little frames in my studio. I don’t remember why I bought them but decided the time was right!
Two of a kind
I finished these two small sunset paintings. I have a number of small frames and am excited to fill them! These will probably be headed to my solo show in Astoria, Oregon in July.
A little magic
Lately I have been working on some small paintings! I have some very large panels patiently waiting in the wings so stay tuned!
Getting Framed!
A morning of framing and mounting hangers on sold pieces. This one is headed to Australia!
