Thanks to everyone at Art Barbarians Wildlife Gallery in Rogers, MN (www.artbarbarians.com) for their hard work putting together the annual cruise on the Saint Croix River.
I painted a new 8×10 "quick draw" piece of a Barred Owl from scratch during the 3 hr. cruise (pictured right). The gallery plans to have an auction or raffle for the painting. Please contact them if you’re interested in participating!

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 — more background in a piece will take longer to paint as well. Now that this larger piece is complete, I can begin working on paintings that have been requested by other galleries. Some of these pieces are specific subjects, some are requested by size, and others have no preference — just more work. 
It is so encouraging to have such interest for new paintings — I know that not all artists have this luxury. I am very thankful to have so much support. One new gallery in particular has requested a new collection of a large number of traditional miniature paintings for an exhibition they’re planning — some from each of my family members. After painting so many larger paintings, some smaller studies & miniatures sound delightful. I think any artist’s primary goal in painting is to make an impact with their work. I value the buying public’s opinion primarily, being that I make my living on my artwork, but I also believe there is merit in the opinion of those in the field of art. I (and my family — Karen & Bonnie were also included in this review) was very flattered recently to be reviewed as a "master of miniature painting". Thanks!!

I just finished a new painting of a great egret preening titled "White Light – Great Egret" (cropped/detail of the actual patinting). We saw him during one of our shoots in the Florida Everglades. I haven’t painted too many shore birds or egrets, but I have a new gallery (Artiques Gallery in Maryland) that has requested some of them. The gallery will be having their grand opening on Sunday.

I just added a few new paintings to my work in progress page. There is still a stack of smaller paintings that I need to add to that page, but at least the larger paintings are online now. Enjoy!!
