A new painting on the easel, inspiration from my home in Idaho. I am working on many new pieces at the moment, much more to come. I am ramping up for my ponchos at Haven Gallery. I am always painting but now with a specific bit of focus.

Beacon
A new painting in the studio. This one is a contender for my upcoming solo exhibit at Haven Gallery in Northport, New York. The show starts late in March, I am fully focused.
Easing Out
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.
Flow of Time
New Sky drama on the easel. Inspiration from my home in North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille is a constant source of visual motivation in my work.
Bloom
An unusual new painting now that Christmas is over. This one might be part of my upcoming show at Haven Gallery. The show opens the end of March, much to do.
Big Empty (SOLD)
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. The town had a brutal year and I am so glad Momentum Gallery weathered the storm and grateful they represent me.
Range (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn that this painting was sold through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
It is a really great contemporary art gallery, the closest one that I work with. I will be participating in a three person “waterscape” show at the gallery in the Spring of 2025. Much work to do!
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.
Small Works (Abend Gallery)
I varnished, framed and packed four new paintings. They are heading to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They will be part of a small works exhibition, really pleased to be included. It is a great gallery, I had a solo show at the gallery in 2020.
High Country
Inspiration from the mountains of North Idaho. Summertime always slips away. The old cliches about time are all true.
The last nine years I have picked huckleberries hiking down from the top of Schweitzer, our local ski resort. This year it was a bit too early for the berries but it was still beautiful!
