I just finished framing four small paintings for a coming exhibit at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. It has been too long since they had any of my paintings in stock, that will be changing! I will be having a solo show at the gallery in May, 2024.
This painting is part of a collection of works that will be available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. Wild – Wondrous – World is the landscape exhibit which opens in December.
I am currently varnishing, framing and sorting through work for the show. I will have eight pieces of various sizes, this will probably be the largest.
Inspiration from a gorgeous fall on Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. It has been a warm and colorful autumn in my neck of the woods. A windstorm cleared out a lot of the leaves but I’m not done with them just yet.
I am putting together a couple collections of small works. These will be available later in the fall at a couple of galleries TBD.
We are blessed with sunshine and warm days this October in North Idaho. Snow and darkness is just around the corner so I am spending a lot of time hiking and kayaking. It has also inspired a new series of paintings!
A new colorful painting in the studio this morning. I have six 12”x12” panels and I am dedicating them all to water imagery.
This painting is available through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. Today I am homeward bound. I have been away nearly a week, visiting family and friends. Painting from out of the past of the near future.
This time of year is gorgeous but the winter looms! On this trip I signed up for two solo shows. One through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The other show will be 2025 through Haven Gallery on Long Island, New York. Both will require massive focus, huge amounts of time and of course paint! I took a year off from the solo show grind but am really excited to dig in this winter, and next, to chase the magic. Putting together large and powerful collections. Anything is possible and this is me at my most driven and optimistic… always for art.
Fall, entering the dark season. It brings some melancholy with the beauty. Chasing the vibe on some small panels.
A large painting available through the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon!
I was happy to hear today that this painting was sold through Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, Michigan. This one was part of a group show celebrating Lake Michigan. I had a solo show at this gallery a few years back and was pleased to be invited to participate in this exhibit.
