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 »
Never a Dull Moment…
Today was an eventful day in Jackson. Later in the day the entire city lost power — even some of the cell phones went out for a while. Luckily, I did get a bit done on my painting before this happened! :) With no electric, it did make me (and […] Read more »
In-Gallery Painting
My family and I are in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for our show at Galleries West Fine Art. We scheduled to be painting in the gallery from 1-5pm every day during the exhibit. This is the first day of our "painting sessions". I just started a painting of wild horses this afternoon — a mother […] Read more »
Working on the Way
More long hours of traveling on the roads today. Two of my miniatures that I’ve been working on in the car this trip are coming along fairly well I think (pictured above). I should be able to finish them quickly in the studio. I also started […] Read more »

Arts for the Parks
I just sent off artwork to the Arts for the Parks exhibit in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (www.artsfortheparks.com). It’s a slightly different subject for me. I really enjoyed painting the foliage around the bird. :) 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 Scenery
We have been visiting and meeting with several galleries recently in the southwest and western United States. I am always inspired when I go gallery hopping and see so many exceptionally beautiful paintings. It always seems to point out a different way of looking at a subject or technique that […] Read more »
Long Hours & Commission for Harvard
Recently, I have had so many kind comments about my work from collectors and web visitors. Thank you all so much! I, like many artists I know, spend long hours in the studio painting, hoping the work will be received well at it’s final exhibition or showing place. I am […] Read more »
