Water and light have always drawn me in. The endless shifting of shapes and colors has a meditative quality. Slowly you drift.
Awake (for a little while)

Great expanses
I have always loved big open spaces. Something that is getting harder to find in our modern world.
One of many magical things about water is the open distance. People often suggest I add a boat or plane to my paintings… no.
A Little Gold
A painting from December that I sold during my February solo show at Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento, California. We returned from that trip in a night blizzard, white knuckles but it worked out!
Winter Memories
This piece will also be shipping to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Inspired by some very pretty winter mornings.
Contrast
I never took a finished photo of this painting. I still don’t have a proper photo! It is at least an interesting contrast in environments.
Lapping from the past
This is a painting from 2016. I sold it through Ugallery which provides the fancy shipping box! Interesting looking back at older work. This one predates my studio which is kind of amazing to me.
Commission
I have been working on this large painting for some time now. I thought I would post a preview of it!
On the Wind
I have been working steadily on some powerful storm imagery. This particular piece is one of my favorites.
I did not have specific plans for these, just driven to create them. Horizon Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, wanted them. They ended up selling this one before I could get it varnished. So Messenger, will be shipping directly to California. The other three will heading to Wyoming. I will post images of them all when they leave North Idaho.
Pink Evening
An image from my art studio. This small painting attempts to captures the light of a gorgeous evening in North Idaho.
Peace and Gold
I finished this painting yesterday afternoon. It has a really great meditative quality. I frequently create work with a calm and tranquil vibe… even when I don’t feel that way. I suppose it’s a form of therapy.
