This is a new painting in progress of a bull moose from my travels in Wyoming. We came across two bulls and a cow in one of our short hikes (and a smidge too close for my taste..). I did, however, come away with amazing reference materials and the […] 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 »

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 »
Masters in Miniature Opens in Jackson Hole
This is my bobcat kitten painting, recently completed. I loved his active stance…he was in pursuit of something that caught his eye, perched on a rock ready to pounce. I was also drawn to the bold glow of color to glaze in throughout the painting. This piece will be included with my […] Read more »

Color Studies from Iowa & Southern Minnesota
I was recently on a little trip through Southern Minnesota and Iowa. Often when I’m off traveling I take along my sketchbook (or occasionally my usual painting supplies and a work-in-progress if deadlines demand that I keep working..) and work along the way, at our stops…or in the vehicle or plane. This […] Read more »
