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.
On and On

New Day
I am working on more small paintings. Squeezing in studio time into these busy summer days. These works will be headed to a number of “small works” exhibits this fall. I usually am rushing to finish small works in September/October but this year I will be ready!
Leading Light (with me)
Another photo of my recent work before I packed them up. Twenty paintings headed to Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. My solo show opens May 9th.
Through Darkness (final)
I just put the final coat of varnish on this painting last night. Such a dramatic piece, excited to send it to my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, N.C. The show opens May 9th, I have 20 paintings to frame, pack up and ship!
Tomorrow
I am always dreaming of a better future. What we all have is today, I will spend it painting.
Light Embrace
Painting atmosphere and light is always a huge focus in my work. This new painting has a great bit of mood. Really nice size board to paint on as well.
Higher
A new small painting, finished in the studio today. I have been working on far too many paintings simultaneously so it was nice to step away and paint something small that could be finished relatively quickly.
Evening Blush
I really dig this small painting. As an artist I am always chasing something intangible, some kind of magic. I can really feel it when it is there. I used to feel endless disappointment in my work, now I am really into what I do but it is the exceptional vibe I pursue.
Evening Glow
A new painting, this one was completed over the weekend. Summer tends to get busy with visitors and all the distractions beautiful weather brings. I am trying to carve out as much time to paint as I am able. I always want to be in the studio, I feel restless and adrift when I am not.
Closer
I put the final layer of color on this dramatic new piece. This painting has taken most of the week to create, worth the time.
