10″x10″ acrylicpainting. This will officially do it for small works for the near future. Time is feeling very short until the next show, I am doing a bunch of 16″x16″ paintings and working up from there. I need a time machine!

October’s Blanket
Another moody lake painting. Lake Pend Oreille is so dramatic, a constant source of inspiration.
This is going to be the last 10″ painting I will do for a while. I am going to start painting larger works for a show that is just around the corner. What I have been working on the last month or so are essentially studies.
Kootenai Valley
Two small works inspired by a scenic part of North Idaho. It is fun exploring more of the landscape I have moved into. Every mini road trip brings something new!
River Flows
A nocturnal image inspired by Kootenai Wildlife Refuge. We took a weekend trip up there and enjoyed the big open valley and mountain ranges.
This acrylic painting is another in my small 10″x10″ series I have been on too long.
October Sky
Work inspired by the grey skies and endlessly shifting light of Lake Pend Oreille. Even though it was hard to let go of the sunshine of summer nature always brings the beauty.
This is an Acrylic painting 10″x10″ in size.
Pend Oreille Inspired
Four 10″x10″ acrylic paintings inspired by my new home water in North Idaho!
Summer Fade
This painting was inspired by a late night on the lake. A friend came out to visit, we went kayaking and were still working our way back home long after the sun went down and the bats came out.
Summer please don’t go!
Schweitzer Mountain
I am finally living in North Idaho. Not really moved in and there are a lot of giant loose ends but I’m catching the tail end of summer!
My sister and her family came out for my first official week here. We took a really fun outing up Schweitzer Mountain. We road the chair lift up to the 6,400 foot summit then hiked down 2.5 miles (2,440 feet elevation change) to the ski village. It was a breathtaking vista and a beautiful sunny day. We carried to go cup drinks up the chair lift and snacked on mountain huckleberries most of the way down the mountain.
What a great day!
