New Small Oil Paintings at Old Main Gallery

I just took five small oil paintings to Old Main Gallery in downtown Bozeman. Some people call these "juicy" oil paintings since I am working wet into wet using a loaded brush (lots of paint in various colors together). Extremely fun and exciting to create.

This is the a painting of the Clark Fork Canyon in the Beartooths and is 8" x 8" oil on canvas panel.

Nicolaysen Art Museum Permanent Collection

"Bridger Mountains-August Storm" was recently purchased by the
The Nicolaysen Art Museum in Casper, Wyoming to be included in the museum's permanent collection. I am honored to have my work part of the Nicolaysens collection.

Early evening light has that unique flat light below the shadow line and the dramatic light and shadows above it. The shadows are further enhanced by reflected light from the passing storm. One of those beautiful interactions that keep me painting!

"Bridger Mountains-August Storm" is a 36" x 36" oil on canvas painting.
