Finishing touches on a Raccoon
I thought I should post an update on a raccoon piece I have in progress (sepia stage of this is shown here). It is almost done at this point.. just a few accents and fussing to polish it up a bit before it’s shipped off to the gallery. I am […] Read more »

Fawn Portrait
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 »

Red squirrel 8×10 (Sepia)

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 »
