Just finishing this painting, another dreamscape of sorts. A little darkness in beauty.

Just finishing this painting, another dreamscape of sorts. A little darkness in beauty.

A meditative new painting. This piece really seemed to guide me, a bit of magic.
My solo show is coming up very quickly. I need to order frames and make decisions about which works will be attending. Still much more painting in mind as well.

The last light and burst of color before the darkness. I am excited we are on the other side of the winter solstice. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

A newly completed painting on the easel! I am fascinated by light and atmosphere, the magic of nature. I am currently working on a few sunset paintings, stay tuned.

I am pretty fond of this piece. It is a really common subject for me but it is one I truly love. I am thankful I have time to spend painting, trying not to waste it.
There will be more unusual paintings in the near future as I work towards my March solo show. This painting will not be at that show. This one is bound for a gallery, not sure which one just yet.

Reflecting the season on Lake Pend Oreille, in North Idaho. The time change and darkening is always more than a little oppressive. The upside, very little distraction from precious studio time.
I am thankful for the rain we are getting this time of year, fire season behind us now. Soon the rain will turn to snow. The seasons have their charm.

I posted this painting a while back but wasn’t entirely happy with it. A bit more saturation and detail and now it is complete!

Painting time was pretty limited this summer. I focused on small paintings that I could finish in shorter work windows. I finally used my last small panel!

A new small painting completed this week. An ode to summer.


This moody stormy painting was always a favorite. It is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina!
