Some of the most dramatic colors at sunset occur in the opposite direction of the descending sun. A wild punch of color illuminates the mountains to the east. I ran through the snow to film this and the color was intense and fading fast. Summer is gorgeous but that low winter light is magic.

Autumn and Gold 🔴
Yesterday I received a phone call from Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. They let me know that this piece had sold. The owner was asking for more work… so grateful for the interest in my art! I am working as hard as I can on my upcoming solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria. Oregon. That said making a living as an artist is tough, you have to sell work and reserve work for shows… not enough time for it all. I am glad it is still the dead of winter so I don’t feel as guilty caging myself in the studio nonstop.
Greet the Dawn (with me)
This one was varnished, framed and shipped to its new home in Florida.
To Dusk
A large new painting finished in the studio. This one will most likely be part of my solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The show will be this June, dates to follow.
Studio WIP
A quick little glimpse into my studio today. This painting is starting to take shape. Mood, mystery and atmosphere always elements I pursue in my work. Have a great weekend.
Greet the Dawn
A new painting in the studio today. This one is lighting up my work space.
I really like these 24”x36” panels, so much so I am prepping four other boards this size at the moment!
Higher 🔴
I was happy to learn that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. I believe it was the last of my paintings available at the gallery.
Turn to Yesterday 🔴
I sent this painting to Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It sold very quickly to an art enthusiast in Washington D.C.
I had been saving this large piece for my coming solo show but making a living isn’t easy. I have to sell some work as I go. I am so grateful to the galleries and collectors that help me keep this ship afloat.
The Gift
A new painting inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille. I am saving this one for my June 2022 solo show at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon! As usual I am starting to put work aside and focus my efforts. Every show I want to be my best, it will be tough to beat this years at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, N.C. (I swear I will).
Four Smalls
Four of ten paintings for Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. These are painted on wood panel with a 1.5” cradled edge. I applied gold leaf to the edge of the painting with a really beautiful result.
