Some Winter Studies

I’ve been a little slow in the blog posts of late.  As some of you know recently a gas-line explosion took out half-a-block of downtown Bozeman.  Montana Trails Gallery was decimated.  I lost roughly 30 paintings.  Worse, Tara Bowman, the gallery director was killed in the explosion. It’s been hard to know how to put this into words, so I’ve left the blog alone for a bit.  At some point in the near future I will write about this terrible event, but for the moment I want to look ahead and share some new work. As we enjoy the first breath of spring here in Montana,  I thought it appropriate to post a handful of winter plein air paintings.  I hope these pieces bring a little joy and peace, or at least a little enjoyment.  Click on any of the thumbnails to see the enlargements.  And yes, they are all for sale!
