Hi Folks,
Just a little post to let you know I uploaded works from my latest show, “Sleeping in the Forest, Waking in the Desert” into a new page on my website. Go see them all together here.
Cheers!

I’m happy to announce I have a solo show, Sleeping in the Forest, Waking in the Desert opening next Tuesday, October 4th at Runnels Gallery in Portales, NM.
Read the little news release about the show!
Sleeping in the Forest, oil on canvas, 16 x 20"
Today I feel like sharing with you a rough pastel drawing of a forest in fall.
I am craving the scratchy texture of thick plaid “Sault Ste. Marie Tuxedos” (these are wool button-up sweater/coats for those of you who don’t know the northern Ontario lingo). I’m craving a cold beer on a dock as a summer sun sets. I’m craving guitars around campfires and lobsters spread out on newspaper-covered tables with little dishes of butter. I’m craving the sight of two dozen Cedar Waxwings passing berries to one another in a tree. I’m craving lichen covered rocks under the first snowfall of the season.

I’m in a group show featuring contemporary landscapes of New Brunswick opening this Friday:

Opening Reception on Friday June 25th 5 – 7 pm
It is with some hesitation and disappointment that I am saying goodbye to winter. Maybe we’ll still get our April snow storm, but I’m afraid that just might not be the case this year.
The cross-country skis are packed away and I find myself leaning towards warmer imagery. But before I start posting all my Spring-inspired sketches, I’d like to make a last salute to the blue hues of winter with these three miniature landscapes:
Winter Road, oil on masonite, 3 x 4"
Clouds on Lake, oil on masonite, 3 x 4"
Green Boat, oil on masonite, 3 x 4"
I just completed another painting for the Bear series. I’m only sharing a piece of it at the moment. (With an exhibition of the series scheduled tentatively for October, I should leave something to surprise and delight you in person.) This is the lower left-hand quarter:
No Trespassing (section), oil on canvas, 16 x 24"
