Reaffirm, renew, invent and explore

  Now is the time to find new ways, look for better places and explore unforeseen options in order to maintain sanity and redefine to save our art careers.  Many things will never be the same (for some, sadly, more than others) but new opportunities will present themselves as we struggle to make sense of the constant changes. My brick and mortar gallery is closed and will not reopen anytime soon. All effort and time is now being focused on launching an online gallery for my website. We are working out the details to make it easy to peruse and purchase with confidence. The new gallery will be offering the highest quality canvas prints of my most popular paintings. They will be stretched, gallery wrapped and coated with a satin finish true to the originals. In fact, they can easily be mistaken for originals. the quality is exquisite!

Center Panel 40x30

This is "Center Panel" one of the many images that you will be able to choose from the new online gallery. Also available will be greeting cards, my two coffee/end table books, puzzles and a fist full of other cool stuff that will be added as we expand this new venue. Soft launch should be sometime next week! I am looking forward to sharing this new adventure and hearing any comments that you have. Stay healthy and happy.......Don

Mainstreet Gallery

On the move, again! It's Done! After a month of remodeling our new space, we have officially opened the new gallery and studio in the Flagship Landing here in Port Townsend. This will be my permanent studio and gallery for a while. Stop by and check us out!



We are located at 1015 Water street in the Flagship Landing. This door is the entrance to the gallery as you walk into the mini mall. very accessible and inviting.

It is a bright, clean, happy space to display art. We installed some great lighting and the paintings look great! This is the view as you walk through the door and enter the gallery .



It is a smaller space than I am used to but there is ample room to step back and enjoy each painting.

This space will be my new studio where I can work on some of the commissions that I recently acquired. it will be a nice place to paint, I even have a sink!





It is exciting to have room to display my larger works. The Madrona piece is 6 foot tall and 8 feet wide! 





I can even display some of my connected pieces. Each panel of this series is 24"x48"



Fields and Fences

I have been busy painting a new series of my "Fields and Fences."  Here are a couple that I just recently had photographed. It is fun playing with some new color combinations. I am intrigued with shapes and the fields and roads can be whimsically manipulated in so many ways!
