It’s been an exceptionally busy month, and I’m excited to have lots of new work to share in the near future!

Sometimes, when I come to an impasse in a painting I’ll shelve it for a time until I can approach the work with less attachment. Being less attached to the existing progress, I can more freely make the sometimes radical changes nessecary to bring the piece to completion.

This work, “Return to the Universal” sat for over a year before I returned to it last week. My studio is filled with a countless number of these works in progress.

One of the postcards sent out to friends and supporters during a recent trip through Alaska.

Over the course of two months we traveled by motorcycle through the backcountry of British Columbia, the Yukon Territory, and Alaska. This was painted near Seward, Alaska.

More progress on this latest one. It's always a special moment in the paintings life when the title becomes known. "Oh Holy Creation, Oh Holy Suffering, Oh Holy Liberation".

Looking forward to sharing a completed version soon.

My new work Leviathan and its partner piece Orobor

My new work Leviathan and its partner piece Oroborus will be up this month at Alberta St. Gallery as part of the Myths and Monsters show curated by @juliaalora Come by and see it tonight from 6 - 9 pm!

"It is a strange paradox that out of the collective can emerge a singular intent of direction that is against each individual constituent will. Emergent behavior like a shadowy behemoth, takes its dim form at the peripheries of our consciousness, even as its winding intricacies form an inescapable center. This paradox is at the heart of the Anthropocene. The leviathan of human progress carries us onward to an uncertain light, and we are the helpless links of its great sinews."

Normally I work on anywhere between 2 - 5 paintings concurrently, balancing drying times with creative moods and whims of spirit. Over the last two months however this one has consumed my time almost exclusively. I frequently dream of it as well. While still very much a work in progress, its title is tentatively "The Becoming of the Future."

Traveling through the German Alps last summer, we

Traveling through the German Alps last summer, we were fortunate enough to be welcomed into the home of renowned German photographer Verena von Gagern-Steidle. Nestled into the foothills of the lower alps, the rustic farmstead provided a refuge for visiting artists and writers escaping modernity.

Illuminated in golden light, the tall grasses of late-summer that surrounded the farmstead lent an unmistakable aura of timelessness to the old wood buildings. In respect to this mystical feeling, the grass was spoken about in solemn and reverential tones by Verena and her niece. And regretfully as well; that the tall grass must be cut.

Towards the end of our stay, machines came to make hay. A necessity of farm life, for three days the serenity of the place was punctuated by the roar of tractors. This piece “ The Cutting of the Long Grass,” was painted en plein air during that time.

This year a plan was announced by the regional government for Verena’s land. In response to the war in Ukraine, and German dependance on foreign oil, local power production across the country was being developed. As a necessity of the local geography, a series of transmission lines will be placed through the farm.

Putting my new larger studio space to good use, I've just started work on a new large scale painting. When completed, it will be my largest work.

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

-Except from The Second Coming by W.B. Yeats

Radiant and transformative, fire consumes matter t

Radiant and transformative, fire consumes matter to produce light. In the same way, our lives might be regarded as a process to create something greater than our bodies. Like other forms of life we are pulled and pushed by pleasure and pain. Unlike other life, we are capable of transcending those experiences, our bodies raw material for the emergence of spirit. The ineffable experiences of which, when had, prove themselves greater, and out of suffering may create the brightest flame.

As part of the “Inside / Broadsides” at Blackf

As part of the “Inside / Broadsides” at Blackfish and the Portland Eckphraestival, I collaborated with artist Valerie Mirra on three plein air pieces. Painted on-site in and near Big Sur, these broadsides incorporate the poetry by Robinson Jeffers with the coastal landscape where he spent his life.

Come by Blackfish tonight at 7 PM to see the show, and enjoy live poetry readings by myself and the other amazing artists.

“White-maned, wide-throated, the heavy-shouldered children of
the wind leap at the sea-cliff.
The invisible falcon
Brooded on water and bred them in wide waste places, in a bridechamber
wide to the stars’ eyes
In the center of the ocean,
Where no prows pass nor island is lifted ... the sea beyond
Lobos is whitened with the falcon’s
Passage, he is here now,
The sky is one cloud, his wing-feathers hiss in the white grass,
my sapling cypresses writhing
In the fury of his passage
Dare not dream of their centuries of future endurance of tempest.
(I have granite and cypress,
Both long-lasting,
Planted in the earth; but the granite sea-boulders are prey to no
hawk’s wing, they have taken worse pounding,
Like me they remember
Old wars and are quiet; for we think that the future is one piece
with the past, we wonder why tree-tops
And people are so shaken.)”

-Granite And Cypress, by Robinson Jeffers
