This 24″x24″ painting was inspired by a road trip to Montana this fall. A short drive that made for a scenic getaway and a trip down memory lane.

24″x24″acrylic painting
I so enjoyed the quick results from the smaller paintings I have been doing. They lived or died and the truth was apparent as quickly as I could grasp it… after that lag it was done.
This is another 24″x24″ painting. A surface that seems both expansive and modest. Still enjoying the freedom of motion but the scale doesn’t have the presence I would really appreciate.
Valley Pond
This 16″x16″ acrylic painting was inspired by the valley south of Flathead Lake in Montana. Ninepipe National wildlife refuge is a large bird sanctuary in that great big valley.
I drove to Montana to see the National Bison Range. I had not been there since I was in my early 20’s. Unfortunately a lot of the park was closed but it was still worth the short road trip. Amazing country alive with wildlife! I took a lot of reference photos and will definitely go back in the spring to see the baby Bison!

These 16″x16″ paintings are part of the larger series of paintings I have started. I am preparing some 24″ surfaces as well and hope to have more large works soon.
Distance
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!
