I’m moving out.
Ok, I’m not really moving "out". I, and all of the other artists in my family, have been working underground, in our basement art studio, for a few years now. It’s tough to make inspirational wildlife and nature paintings when you can’t even see the outdoors. So, we decided to change that. We will also be getting some more space to work as well.
Yippee!!!
My apologies — I have been/will be posting irregularly until I’m finished with my new studio. Thanks for visiting!!!!
I’ll be back up and running shortly!!Tags: apologies, art, art studio, basement, family, nature, nature paintings, nbsp, studio

We attended a Ducks Unlimited chapter’s banquet tonight. My Mom, Karen, is "Artist of the Year" Sponsor Print Artist for Minnesota’s Ducks Unlimited (as you may already know). The chapter often has the state’s Artist of the Year attend to sign prints, frames, etc. for the sponsor members.
I will likely be here next year as I will be the MN DU Artist of the Year for 2006.
Thanks for having us!!

We left for Minnesota today after a stop in Jackson to repair the damage to our vehicle. It took a little longer than we were hoping, but we’ll get home ok. It is sort of cold, rainy, and miserable outside today, so we opted out of any photography.
I had been planning to paint some plein air pieces while I was here, but I was so involved in gathering references for my studio work that I left them out. Oh well. Maybe I’ll be able to get some done the next time I come out.

This morning our means of transportation had some technical difficulties …and, well…. I’ll just say I won’t be using it to go anywhere today. (everyone is fine, but glass did fly!)
So… I (we
) are going to be hiking right here for some new references!! This slight change of plans will be ok. The fall colors here are almost at peak, so we should see some great things!!!!Tags: Accident, change, Fall, fall colors, fly, glass, means of transportation, peak, technical difficulties

Today we spent the day driving to a few locations to hike around and photograph some habitat.
I think we found some very nice habitat reference!! Here’s an ink sketch of Mt. Moran I made last night from the porch (where we’re staying). It’s a little smudged — the cleaning crew apparently found it interesting.

Today we visited the Arts for the Parks artists’ reception at the Ranch Inn here in Jackson. Very nice. I (we) really appreciate all of the hard work that goes into the AFTP event — thanks for everything!!!
This evening we left for a few days of research at Signal Mountain in the Grand Teton National Park (after we stopped in to say our goodbyes at our gallery, of course!
) . We arrived just in time to see the sunset over the Tetons. It was beautiful!!! I did some sketches along with some photography of the scenery.Tags: everything, Grand, grand teton national, grand teton national park, Ranch, research, signal mountain, teton national park, tetons, work
