Out of the studio for most of the day today. I did a little stocking up on some outdoor equipment for our next trip to Jackson, Wyoming. If everything goes as planned, I hope to do a little plein aire work in the parks. (I have to decide whether to […] Read more »
Bluebird Commission, etc.
Today I started working on the color phase of this bluebird painting. :) Right now I think the full color painting is not quite far enough to post yet, but my rough sketch for the piece is pictured left. The painting is a commission, a 5×7 miniature. I have also been […] Read more »
Painting in Studio
I’m starting to finish up on some of my pieces. I just pulled out about a dozen or so that I would like to finish in the next month or so — of course that’s a tall order, but I’ll do what I can. Right now I’m working on my coyote painting […] Read more »

Earlier this afternoon, we stopped for a mini photoshoot — It’s been perfectly sunny just about all day!! :) We just arrived back at the studio. I will be setting up my studio again and start fresh tomorrow! :) (I have so many new paintings to finish!! :) ) Read more »

This is the first day of our "painting sessions". I just started a painting of wild horses this afternoon — a mother […] Read more »
Wildflowers
I took a little break from my studio painting to go out and photograph some of the beautiful wildflowers that are growing right in our backyard. I don’t think I’ve seen so many butterflies in the area before! I think it’s due to the popularity of butterfly gardening and so […] 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 »
