We had a wonderful photoshoot this morning with some of the local wildlife!! :) I will be using some of these new references in one of my next paintings. I painted in the gallery (Galleries West Fine Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming) this afternoon with a few other artists from our gallery. I worked […] Read more »
An Afternoon of Gallery Painting
My family and I painted in the gallery today (Galleries West Fine Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming -www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com- ). The gallery was completely rehung this afternoon for the upcoming "Fall Roundup" (their third annual) group showing for the artists in the gallery during Jackson’s Fall Arts Festival. It looks really nice! […] Read more »

More Painting
We met so many sweet people who dropped by the gallery today!! :) In Jackson, there are visitors from all over the globe, so you never know who you’ll meet! I don’t think we’ve ever had so much fun during one of our shows in town! (Actually, our new gallery can be […] Read more »

Finishing Swan Paintings
I am just about finished with my large 24×36 swan painting. It certainly feels like quite an accomplishment when a large painting is finished. I can often finish miniature paintings in a day or two, but a very large piece will take at least a week to finish, maybe longer […] Read more »
New Shows
I have been painting madly for the past month for upcoming shows and galleries which has kept me away from my journal. For those in the area, I will be sending a selection of new paintings to our gallery in Frenchtown, NJ (www.decoyswildlife.com). They (Decoys & Wildlife and Gabriele’s Galleries) […] Read more »
Nature Center Exhibition
I’ve just posted an image of the painting of snow I mentioned in my last journal post. It’s been one of those pieces — I see something different in it everyday. It is such a complicated piece when I am painting it up close, but becomes a simple design that […] Read more »
