2010

Got out of my December rut and am exploding with new work. These will end up at a show at Evergreen Framing Co. & Gallery on Thursday, February 18.

Christmas Prep

"Green River" 30" x 30" Acrylic on Canvas

Available at Evergreen Framing Co. & Gallery

This is my son creating a Christmas army before the house got decorated, complete with Santa, Angels, and Baby Jesus!


Here are my munchkins painting.

Ochre Trees

36" x 6"

Kids got sick. Trying to carve out time to paint with sick kidos around. Had a nice time at the Annual Zion Bank Art Show last night. Great food and art.

Winter Trees

This is 6" x 36". A fun shape to work with. It is getting cooler here, so it is easy to think of the winter coming. Hoping the kids don't get sick.

Expecting Hope

36" x 36"

Acrylic on Canvas

The title is a little redundant, but I am always eternally hopeful. My nature is to always be hopeful in any situation. I think it's better than the alternative. This painting just went to a new gallery for me, The District Gallery, in Park City. I had a wonderful morning with my dad visiting the gallery and out for lunch. Great rainy day for soup!

"Fresco"

18" x 18"

I love the textures in this piece.

"Summer Showers"

30" x 30"

Acrylic on Canvas

New Studio

Got to hit Ikea this week and redo the studio. It has a lot of great light and everything I need at my fingertips. Now working my way through a recent shipment of canvas from Utrecht. Finished paintings get stored in a different spot, so I can stay as clutter free as an artist can.

Cabin

I had a friend loan my family her cabin for a couple of days and I was able to paint six little 12" x 12" paintings out on the deck while the kids looked for critters and got nice and dirty. The mountains were beautiful and we even saw a moose.

"New Trees"

I have posted this painting before, but I am excited to have it accepted into an international competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in September called artprize. Anyone can vote starting September 23 and the cash awards are crazy!!
