This is a sketch for a new little wolf puppy I am starting as a miniature painting. :D 
Little Fawn Painting in Progress
Here is a photo of the fawn miniature that I am working on right now (see the original pencil sketch in this post). A collector from Germany was interested in seeing how the painting was coming along, so here it is. :) This is a close-up photo of the painting – just the fawn.
I will be painting in some grasses and such around the legs and lower areas. I will be adding a faint suggestive background to the painting also.
Miniature Wildflowers – Traditional Miniature
This is a little miniature painting that I have been working on (on and off) for a while. I just love wildflowers – these are a cluster from here in Minnesota. I have a little more to do on it, but the photo of the painting should give you an idea of the mood and concept of the miniature.
I thought a miniature format for the painting would be perfect for a little splash of color. It is very tiny — as you can see by the photo of the painting. :) The artwork is 1in x 1/2in.
Screech Owl Painting (Sketch)
This is a new little screech owl piece that I just started working on. This, of course, is the sketch for the painting.
Snowy Owl Sketch
Landscape in Miniature – Progress
This is a recent image of my miniature landscape painting that I am working on. It still has some more details and textures to be added to it, but the in-progress picture should give you an idea of how the miniature landscape is coming out. :D
Redtail Hawk Sketch Completed
This is the final redtail sketch. I’ve decided to paint it as a 5×7. There seems to be a lot of movement and action in this pose of the hawk. :D

Drawing a Hawk
This is a a drawing that I’ve been working on today – the beginnings of my next painting . It’s a redtail hawk, Jamaica, from the Minnesota Raptor Center. I am just about finished with the sketch and should begin painting it in tomorrow :D .
Sketch for a Miniature Landscape
This is a little thumbnail sketch for a miniature landscape painting I have started working on. It is a little western landscape (or waterscape ). I took a hike back in the wild areas near Yellowstone National Park & followed this splashing stream for a bit as the sun started to go down. The autumn leaves were just past peak, giving a nice crispy brown color in a few places. I just loved the long shadows and rich color of the landscape.
Butterfly Sketch for Miniature Painting
This is a graphite sketch/drawing for a new miniature painting I will be starting soon. It is a Queen butterfly. The species is similar to a monarch, but a darker russet color and not as defined with black markings. I will be sketching out an arrangement of flowers and a background to add to it as well.
