Snow Leopard – Small Miniature

  This is a small snow leopard painting that I recently finished – watercolor on ivorine.  The head of the cat is just about 2 inches height/width.  Being one of the smaller miniatures, it didn’t spend a lot of extra time on my easel, just a few days – one […] 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 »
