This is another one of my floral pieces that were just completed – a waterlily from sunken aquatic garden at the conservatory in Saint Paul that I visit occasionally. This was a very fun piece to paint. The cupped shaped petals, glowing pink in the depths of the blossom from […] Read more »
Sneak Peek – Grizzlies in Miniature
This is one of the paintings in my studio that has been keeping me occupied lately…one of many, actually. The full painting is 30×40 inches (Watercolor on board, in miniature) of 2 grizzly bears in a disagreement ;). The photo posted here is slightly skewed and a detail section shot […] Read more »

Brown Pelican Watercolor

This is the beginnings of a wolf piece – the sepia stage (My favorite part….where the essence of the piece is painted in crisp watercolor). The painting is one of my larger miniatures at 24″ x 36″ – so adding all of the texture to the animal, covering […] Read more »
Defensive – Timberwolf in Miniature
I finished this wolf painting, "Defensive", not too long ago – it’s a 9"x12" miniature piece that you may have seen ‘in progress’ here on the blog earlier. I know that many of these web images online just don’t show the detail of the watercolors – so for […] Read more »
Bald Eagle Miniature
This piece (about 4" x 6") is a little different than some of my other work, and I thought that some of my visitors might like to see it. As you can see, it has a splashy, looser backdrop with the tight detail of the face of the eagle. (the […] Read more »
