This was the final landscape I completed in 2025. The sixth week where I met my goal to produce two landscapes a week. I like this one. I didn't enjoy painting it. I was too angry. I couldn't shake it, it stayed with me for the entire time I worked on this.

When I began my seventh week, I had to stop after day one. In the morning of my 7th week, I began and it only lasted fifteen minutes. My anger came through too much, the brush became a knife and the canvas a murder victim. Paint was going on too hard, too fast, the canvas was too small and not secured well enough for the energy I was using. My area wasn't able to accommodate me anymore. So I quit. I was having poor sleep, waking up with a sore jaw from clinching my teeth. I believe if I had an area large enough I would have continued to paint in this anger fueled manner.

Since 18 August 2025, I occasionally used that 15 minute anger fueled painting to paint my self portrait on. I added to that randomly and without a disciplined schedule like I was using earlier to reach my goals, as the anger was still there. My self portrait is incomplete, looks terrible and I will be leaving it that way. It feels appropriate and true. You can see that in the About section of this website.

A sunrise overlooking a frosted field. This was the sixth and final week where I was able to meet my goal to produce two paintings a week.I had started to become a lot more emotionally disturbed than usual. This was completed in anger.

A very large set of pine tree. I really enjoyed this one. Large trees, bright sky. This was completed in the evening and was the 5th week where I met my goal of producing two paintings a week.

I enjoyed this one. A lot of life on a warm summer day. This is the first of the 5th week where I met my goal to produce two paintings a week.

This is overlooking a river you can't quite see. I enjoyed this painting. A lot of green.

This painted was completed in the evenings and was the part of the 4th week where I met my goal of producing two paintings a week.

River, trees, overcast sky. This was the painting of the 4th week of meeting my goal to produce two paintings a week. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed painting this one. This was completed in the evening and was the third week in a row of meeting my goal to produce two paintings a week.

Trees, river, sky, reflections. The light was too much for me to deal with in this painting, I struggled with it quite a bit, it was not that enjoyable. The trees river and reflections are one big mess.

Trees, a stump, a bush and a path. This is the other half of this second set of weekly paintings. I completed this one in the evening. This was enjoyable. I liked my work.

Some very large pine trees and a large bush. I enjoyed painting this. This is part of the second set where I met my new goal of completing two paintings per week. Completed the morning of 7 July 2025.

A sunset, a river and some trees.

This is part of the first set where I committed to completing two paintings a week. This was painted primarily in the evenings.

This is the first painting where I had resolved myself to paint two a week, I still believed I could produce fifty paintings in a year.

While I was completing the 17 June painting, I had visited a gallery and learned a bit about an artist. They had made a living painting two landscapes a week. It had inspired me to do the same. This one was painted in the mornings, the other one the afternoon or evenings.

I don't understand why but I felt like I had to be productive for my friend that left us to the other side.

I struggled to paint this. This was the first time in the year that I stopped painting daily. I was in Tokyo. I was in Manila. I learned that my friend had committed suicide, which I find unbelievable. I still don't believe it.

This was another painting where I spent the least amount of time on it and it was the first painting where I completely failed my goal of painting everyday for the year of 2025. I missed over thirty days completely due to travel and sickness, then when I was painting I only put in the least amount of work imaginable.

failure, sadness, sickness, low effort, everything about this painting is a reminder of who I am at that time. Who I seemed to be, to me.

Though, I must say, Tokyo was brilliant, I love Japan.

Why did this painting take me so long to complete? It took nearly an entire month.

When I began, I intended to paint fast and daily. By this time, I had only painted daily, sometimes as little as just fifteen minutes of time spent on it. I figured it was better than nothing and still in line with my intentions. I had completely forgotten about painting fast.

This is a painting made from me, doing the bare minimum and still meeting my goal of painting daily.

I was really struggling. Everything in me wanted to stop for a number of reasons. I settled with the minimum, and that carried into my next painting. I couldn't shake, whatever it was that was bothering me enough to throw me off course. Everything in me wanted to stop, and I settled with fifteen minutes. What is this? strength? weakness?

Sometimes I wonder if there powerful forces working around me? I believe painting itself is a spiritual act, especially when its representing Gods creations, land, air, sea. Have I awakened something within me? Directed eyes toward me? Am I sending invitations to unknown recipients? Where in the world am I?

These clouds are dropping snow. That was the first snow of the year. What a sight.

There were interesting cloud formations during sunset. Why is it so easy for us to look at the clouds.The size, shape and colour always throw me into a state of admiration.

If my paintings do that to you, then I will be the artist I intended to be. To create a landscape that induces a state, a state you needed. Maybe some would see it as a gift from the other side. inter-dimensional communication and teleportation are the goals of my work.

This is a rather large lake that is still partially frozen. This is a special place to me. I didn't want to be there as I had already put it behind me. I went anyway and this was the view that greeted me.

Its a field, with the sun, during a cold morning. There is frost on the ground.

When I started this one, it was my intention that it teleport the viewer to this exact location.

Yes, a literal teleportation device. So I suggest you let it take you there.

If it works, please let me know when you manage to find your way back.

A river.I don't like it. I struggled with it. There are so many variations in light, so many colors. I can be overwhelmed by it.

I began painting with the intention of not caring about it at all. That proved more difficult than I could have ever imagined.

The landscape, my representation of Gods beauty. How dare I.

Another view of Lake Minnewanka.

Lake Minnewanka.

I was there in spring, this was the first day smoke began to roll in from forest fires, that seemed to continue till fall.

There were parts of the trail limited to groups of four or more due to the grizzly bear activity.

I felt small and insignificant in the Rocky Mountains. As if my life could be extinguished at any moment. It was uneasiness and awe all together.

Real beauty, in attempting to re-create that beauty, I began to feel like I have Gods attention. I knocked and he heard. I haven't felt that much in my life, but with painting, I have.

I completed this on 29 December 2024. When I began these early paintings, it was my goal to simply paint fast and paint daily. I honestly do not like this painting at all. It's of the badlands in Alberta Canada.

This is a painting from the perspective of a machine gunner in Ukraine. I do not intend to sell this.This is the painting where I started to feel there is a spiritual component to painting. Like, there is something happening to me outside of my awareness when I paint a landscape.

This painting forced me to consider if I have what it takes. Do I have enough urgency in life? Am I built strong enough to meet the demands that are required of me right now in this moment.
