This is a recently painted little fawn portrait. When working on the piece, I focused on rendering detail in the fur, yet retaining a softness throughout the piece. I also wanted to portray her cautious look at the viewer as she carefully stepped through the grass. Fawn Portrait, 7″x5″, watercolor on […] Read more »
11×14 Bison (Sepia)
This is a detail view of a new painting, 11in x 14in in sepia stage, of a Bull Bison that I was able to see in the Yellowstone area. I’ve surrounded him with sage, grasses, and the burned out log in the foreground to compliment his dark coat. Loving all […] Read more »
Blue Irises 9×12 in Progress
This is a new painting of blue irises in the beginning stage. Because of the delicacy of the hues and subtle areas of the petals, this was not started with sepia as I normally do. Instead, the under painting is worked in with ultramarine and a mixed soft green. I […] Read more »
American Kestrel – Fly By Artists for Conservation Vancouver
The American Kestrel has to be one of my favorite raptors. Dressed in beautiful rusts, blue, cream and gold, it is always fun to paint. This painting places a male American Kestrel perched on the side of a large old growth tree. His eye is caught by the passing Emperor […] Read more »

American Plains Artists 2011 National Show
During one of our trips to an exhibition, we came across these beautiful horses…I immediately knew they would be a painting. One of the delights in this piece was to be able to use such bold golden tones contrasted with the grass and distant cools in the vegetation behind them. […] Read more »
Red squirrel 8×10 (Sepia)
This is an in-progress red squirrel sitting on rugged deadfall. The lighting will be rather dramatic in this piece. I’m looking forward to all of the color glazes of the fur and beautiful textures in the logs. Should be quite a treat! watercolor on board, 8in x 10in, sepia stage, […] Read more »
Coyote Puppies
A recent painting of a playful litter of coyote puppies. They thoroughly enjoyed chasing each other until they were fully exhausted. I think I may have had as much fun, just watching them, as they seemed to be having in their playful romps. I loved the energy, textures involved […] Read more »
