This is the final scan for the recent Iris painting I’ve been working on. It was a bit of a challenge getting the opalescent glow of sunlight through the petals, but I’m pleased with the result.
Painting this piece has made me a little more eager to see the new flowers unfold this spring…
New small piece in progress…

New development this week..
I’m pleased to announce that my artworks (as well as Karen & Bonnie’s works) are now represented by JQ Licensing, one of the most respected brands in the art licensing industry today.
Since 1989 the artwork of JQ Licensing has been reproduced on hundreds of unique product types and sold by some of the largest manufacturers in North America. http://www.licensedart.com

This is the final scan of the little chipmunk painting I was working on. I liked how it turned out with the darker tones and glazes of rich colors – almost as if he was tucked away deep in the woods on a trail.

I love florals and gardening. Our recent warmer weather here in Minnesota is making it feel like spring is on the way. …and also reminded me that I haven’t painted flowers for a little while. This iris in progress from a specimen that grows in our gardens. If all goes well with the painting process, it will debut at an exhibit next month.
Some of my readers may have seen this piece a little earlier, but for those that haven’t.. this is a work in progress of a raven on deadfall, sepia stage. It’s a bit larger than I’ve been painting recently – should finish as a 12″ x 24″.
I saw the raven during one of my visits out West in Montana. The arrangement of sun-bleached wood that he is perched on will be very interesting to paint & I believe contrasts well in texture with the raven’s feathers.
This is my painting that will debut at Masterworks in Miniature 2012: Wisdom – Barred Owl, 6in x 8in, watercolor on board.
If you hadn’t seen them, these are some of the earlier posts of this painting in progress and in the sepia stage.
The show opens March 9, 5 p.m. Watch for the show’s opening in the gallery and on the web – they will be posting a complete listing of the exhibit online at http://www.galleryone.com and of course full exhibit is available to view in person at Gallery One, Mentor, OH.
This is a new painting, sepia stage, of a cougar. The final painting should finish off as a 4in x 5in piece.
I loved the fluid line of the cougar’s shoulders in this one.
This is the finished painting of the raccoon that was posted in-progress earlier – 8in x 10in watercolor on board. …and below is a photo of how it appears in it’s hand-finished frame. I’m still not quite sure what to title it, but I’m pleased with how it turned out.
Several new paintings are on the easel now, and I have just about completed others that were in-progress as well as ones pre-reserved by collectors. More coming soon…
