Coming Soon

I spent the weekend preping for upcoming paintings. I have a lot of ideas and commissions. I will be working on a portrait of two beautiful women and a field of poppies for commissions. As for me, myself, and I...There will be works of flowers (poppies & daisies), horses, and fly fisherman. Most of these soon to be paintings have the drawings transfered to the paper. All I have to do is begin the painting process. I'll post images as soon as I get them done!

Just in the 'Nick' of time

I finished a commission today. A commission that is to be a Christmas present! I got it at the last minute and have been working every chance I get to finish it in time so that it'll arrive to my client before the holiday.

Gallery Representation

Two Rivers Gallery in Big Timber, MT. has been selling some of my minature paitings the past month & 1/2. It has been so exciting and such a wonderful opportunity! I thought it was only going to be through the holiday season, but it might turn out to be longer than that. Here is a picture of some pieces I'll be sending them next week.
I'm so thankful for Two Rivers Gallery and those indivduals involved that gave me a chance.

Tis the Season of Commissions

I finished a commission today of a cabin home in Bigfork. It was a lot of fun to do, as I enjoy painting cabins (old and new). There is something about weathered wood in it's various stages of weathering. I also began a new commission today as well and should hopefully have it finished before Christmas.

a random departure

Did a new painting in acrylic...not the norm. But I like the results!

Blue

Just finished a commission of a beautiful grey horse. I kinda like how he turned out. It is fun painting grey horses. You can really play around with color! Although, Sometimes, I really feel any painting can do a horse justice. They are so incredible in person.

MTWS Opening reception

Tonight was the opening reception of the Watermedia 2011. My piece "Trulissa" was hanging among 50 other beautiful paintings. Tom Francesconi juried the exhibition. I was awarded a $150 merchandise award from the University of Montana bookstore. The reception was great. The raffle book of 30 original watercolors was fantastic! It was wonderful getting a chance to talk with some of my favorite members of the Montana Watercolor Society! If you get a chance, please stop by the Bigfork Art and Cultural Museum to see the show. The organizers of it work so hard and this year their efforts really paid off. It is a beautiful exhibition.
