final payment plus frame cost on commissioned oil painting, 40x60"

Final payment due by 1/29/22 prior to varnishing & framing.  40x60" oil painting commission.  $500 (plus tax) non-refundable deposit on total price of $3000.  Balance of $2500 plus tax due on completion.  Additional charge of $400 for clear maple floater frame will also be assessed on completion.  Inspired by 'out to the streaming' (scene/form) and 'a suspended rediscovery' (palette/light)

  • commission terms

    the $500 deposit is nonrefundable and serves as a commitment by both parties to the commission.  The painting will take 4-6 weeks for completion.  When I feel the painting is complete, I'll send images and/or you can view the painting in person for approval.  Minor adjustments can be made at this juncture.  If the final painting does not meet your approval, I will retain the deposit and the painting and sell out of the studio.  You will not be required to pay the balance if you do not like the final painting.

Source and technique have melded in my paintings in such a way that poetry, nature, color, light, mood and atmosphere are at one with my method of layering oil on canvas.  Void of visible brush stokes and seemingly lit from within, I have spent my career mastering my method and using the outer world as a shoreline to our inner longings.  My paintings, often paired with poetry that I am contemporaneously reading, offer an opening to the contemplation that accompanies those moments in nature where melancholic beauty quiets us.  Mimicry of an objective nature is less the goal than evoking the mood and atmospheres of our existence.  

​

In my recent paintings the sea and sky have taken on a larger and more energetic role, giving me the space to explore a loose yet structured mark making—just as the sea and sky themselves are both chaos and order.  I find inspiration in scrims; the veil of fog, the glare of sunlight on water, the quieting as night approaches and everything is reduced to shadow and light, the revealing of a well of color at dawn and the heaviness and energy of a storm.

​

I live in Bellingham and have a storefront studio in the downtown area.  I have been exhibiting my work professionally for the past 20 years.  My paintings are held in collections throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.

​

I have exhibited my work extensively in galleries and curated shows since 2008. I currently show my work at my storefront studio only--by choice-- and have no gallery affiliation at this time.
