Lots Of New Work!

"Duet"   20"x20"  oil on canvas

I'm gearing up for several great art shows this fall (yet to be confirmed) and the Studio is brimming with new work!  Also....if you happen to be in the NE part of town, the pieces currently hanging at Portland, Oregons' favorite pie place, Pie Spot, is set to close at the end of April. Get yourself some pie and take 20% off whatever is left on the wall.  Or.....come on down to the Studio for cuppa (or glassa) something and take a gander at my latest!

Passing By

 

6"x6"  oil on canvas  Sold

January 1 of this year, I became the proud renter of a new studio, and although it took me several icy winter months to get it up and running, it was worth every sore muscle and drop of perspiration I put into it.  Then I was T-boned by a car that ran a stop sign and I lost a bunch of time trying to get my legs to work right.  But that's another story for another time. 

This little guy was painted not too long ago in anticipation for the Holiday's.  Not too big, not too pricey and just what every inspiring art collector could want. If you're in the area, come on by. 

Breakthrough

"Breakthrough"  18"x24"  oil on panel   $1,600

This new piece along with 16 more will be included in a group show that will open August 3rd, (First Friday) at the Scott Milo Gallery in Anacourtes, Washington. The show will exhibit through September 4th, so if you have a month to mosey in and take a look.   I'll be there for the opening reception on Friday from 6pm till 9pm and I would love to see you! 

Endless Possibilities

36"x36" oil on canvas $4,800

After doing quite a few smaller works, I decided to take the size up a notch. At 3 feet by 3 feet, this cloud vista is impressive on the wall!

The Concert

12"x12" oil on canvas $700

This piece was just finished and came off the easel a few days ago. It is a commission for a collector (and good friend) of mine. She gave me a specific size, color scheme and subject matter and this is what came off the brush. Normally for a commission there is a couple of emails depicting the work in progress. That didn't happen this time, but thankfully she loves the end result. Mission accomplished.

Amongst The Clouds

8"x8" oil on panel $400

This is the second and final piece that that I painted for a show in Bellingham, Washington for the "Little Gallery". The opening reception will be Friday, December 3, 6-10pm and will run until December, 18.

Winds Of Change

24"x24" oil on canvas $2100

No doubt you can tell I'm inspired by the dramatic Pacific Northwest skies. I am frequently asked if I am a "Plein Air" painter and though on occasion I have painted outside on site, my usual procedure is to take a lot of photographs and go back to the creature comforts of the studio to work out my composition. If you are in the Portland, Oregon area, I'm currently showing through November 30th at Proper Eats Restaurant. Come see!

Standing Ovation

24"x24" oil on canvas $2100

This was painted a few months ago in anticipation of the September Allied Art Galley show in Bellingham, Washington. I have a tendency to paint in warmer colors and of vistas that are far more temperate than in my studio on a cold Pacific Northwest winter day.

Dialogue

18"x18" oil on canvas $1,200

This is one of several new pieces painted for my September art show at the gallery of Allied Art Of Whatcom County in Bellingham, Washington. The reception is "First Friday", September 3, from 6pm till 10pm. Check it out!

Creekside View

6"x6" oil on canvas $250

This is the second piece of a small run of similar paintings.

Blue Afternoon

6"x6" oil on canvas $250

Recently, I did a small run of paintings, depicting the play between the sky and the clouds. What can start off as a large span of deep blue horizon, can quickly turn into an evasive glimpse. This interaction and movement varies from second to second and I enjoy trying to capture the performance.
