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!

Fade of Days
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.
Burn Away
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.
Autumn Reigns
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.
On and On (revisit)
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!
Transformation
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!
Disappearing
A new small painting completed this week. An ode to summer.
Passing (revisit)
This moody stormy painting was always a favorite. It is available through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina!

New Day
I am working on more small paintings. Squeezing in studio time into these busy summer days. These works will be headed to a number of “small works” exhibits this fall. I usually am rushing to finish small works in September/October but this year I will be ready!
Fading Day
A new painting in the studio. We have had some pretty spectacular sunsets of late. I was inspired to capture that ethereal fade of light.
I am preparing a lot of small boards and will be painting many small works this summer.
