I remember being stunned the first time I saw a harvest moon rising over a bend in the road. It's amazing how bright and colorful the moon is during that period.

Here's another dusk painting. I love it when the sky takes on a reddish glow just before the sunlight is completely gone.

On an unrelated note, my favorite radio station (which I mentioned earlier) is now streaming oldies online: FM 99 The Mountain, Red Lodge, MT.

I used a spatula for much of this impasto painting. There's really something indescribably beautiful about sunsets in Montana, and I can't quite get enough of it.

The beach at Cambria, CA is probably one of the most beautiful places in the world. I remember feeling like I was in a Mediterranean hillside when I was driving there.

Big Sky Storm - SOLD

Big Sky Storm

24" x 30"

SOLD

I love the scenery on the outskirts of Billings. I've found that I sometimes feel almost claustrophobic in Washington (despite the state's incredible beauty), since I'm so used to the plains of eastern Montana. I can really breathe out here. I also love these Montana storms: they roll in with big beautiful clouds and thunder and lightening, and the rain smells so refreshing. I really miss my Montana storms when I'm in western Washington where the rain is more like a fine mist.


I mostly used palette knives on this painting. The sides are all painted as well (illustrated in the second photo above), so the painting comes ready to hang unframed. You can click on the first photo to see a larger version of the photo that better reveals the textures and the colors.

Let It Be - NFS

Let It Be

30" x 20"

not for sale

After taking a break from this painting one day, I discovered that I liked the unfinished look of it so much that I decided to leave it alone and consider it done. It's based on Richard Avedon's famous photos of The Beatles.

More art will be forthcoming. I'm sorry for my neglect of this blog, but the past several months have been intensely challenging to say the least. Updates will probably continue to be sporadic for awhile, so please bear with me. I have a number of semi-finished pieces that I hope to upload soon.
