Burning Hours – 18” x 24”, acrylic painting
The sky burns with the endless march of time.
A new cloudscape in the studio today. I love exploring light and motion. A cloudscape void of any landscape or anchors to the ground, such as mountains or trees, is intriguing to me ..read more

Mountain Moon – 18”x18”, acrylic painting
I am working on a series of 18” moon paintings, this is the first in the collection. I named it “mountain moon”, it occurred to me later those words together sounded like a song… Flyin’ Shoes, great song by a legendary artist.
Townes Van Zandt – Flyin’ Shoes
Day’s full of rain
Sky’s coming down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby it won’t be long
‘Fore I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Flyin’ shoes
‘Til I’ll be tying on
My flyin’ shoes
Spring only sighed
Summer had to be satisfied

North Winds – 18”x24”, acrylic painting
More inspiration from the home water, Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho! I am obsessed with the changing landscape and it is an endless well of inspiration.
I used to consider 18”x24” to be a large painting. They now seem small but are a really great size to work on. Plenty of room for expression but small enough to cover relatively quickly, I am working on a series of these misty images with plans to paint much larger work in the near future. My plans are always fluid, always following my enthusiasm of the moment.
Happy Holidays ..read more
