I am very fond of this little painting. It will probably end up at a small works show this fall, or I might hang onto it.
Every fall galleries reach out asking for small works. I generally am ill prepared but this year I am squirreling small pieces away… sometimes I learn.
I was happy to hear this painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon!
Detail of a new painting in the studio. I am currently painting a number of 24” x 18” pieces, nice to have a little more room to roam.
I was happy to hear that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. These photographs were taken almost exactly a year ago.

This painting was finished just a bit over a year ago. Time does not slow.
This painting is signed, varnished and framed! It will be at my solo show “the Shadowland” at Haven Gallery. The exhibit opens March 29th.
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.
Yesterday I shipped off this new painting to an art collector in Massachusetts! The buyer chose no frame but rather gold leaf edges (visible in the video). This all resulted in a lovely piece. The downside is I have gold flakes all over the studio floor.
Three small water paintings freshly completed. I am putting together a pretty good collection of small works. Painting time has been pretty limited over the summer so these smaller pieces have been my focus. I work with a number of galleries that have “small works shows” in the fall. So I will be sending these smaller paintings all over the country in the coming months.
A new seascape in the studio. Much of the subtlety doesn’t make it across in photographs, a common complaint I know. After working on so many tiny paintings this summer it was nice to give myself some larger space to explore.
