The Fall Art Festival’s "Quick Draw" started at 10am this morning. It’s cold and drizzling outside, so the painters and sculptors worked in tents on the square . The artists had an hour to finish their paintings before they were put on live auction. Quite a few artists from our gallery were in the event and did well! Congrats guys — nice job!!

We spent some time with some of our friends/clients who were in town and visited a great spot for shooting wildlife in the area.
We also shot a lot of reference photos of both landscapes and wildlife in the Teton Mountain Range.
After concluding our photoshoot, we went back to our gallery downtown for some "studio" painting with a number of other artists represented by Galleries West Fine Art.

– thanks to everyone who dropped by!!! We appreciate it!!

We had a wonderful photoshoot this morning with some of the local wildlife!!
I will be using some of these new references in one of my next paintings.
I painted in the gallery (Galleries West Fine Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming) this afternoon with a few other artists from our gallery. I worked on my 20×30 cougar piece - roughing in a bit of the background habitat today. Thanks to everyone who visited the Arts for the Parks Top 100 exhibit and dropped by Galleries West to say Hi!! We appreciate it!! I will be in the gallery painting again tomorrow. -www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com-
We also attended the preview party at the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s Miniatures and More exhibition this evening. It was a very nice event — so many nice paintings and sculptures!!!
Lastly, (but not least) congrats to my Mom, Karen, for placing 6th in the Federal Duck Stamp Competition this year!!!!

My family and I painted in the gallery today (Galleries West Fine Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming -www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com- ). The gallery was completely rehung this afternoon for the upcoming "Fall Roundup" (their third annual) group showing for the artists in the gallery during Jackson’s Fall Arts Festival. It looks really nice!
I’ve added a photo of a view of the gallery’s interior — my Mom, Karen’s easel (left) and my little "studio" setup (center). I am still working on my large cougar painting, as you can see. It’s coming along pretty well. My Mom is painting on a new bull moose piece (which, of course, I think is fantastic!
).
Pictured in the background is R. Scott Nickell, one of the gallery’s owners as well as the gallery’s resident sculptor. He has a lot of large bronzes in the gallery featuring Native American Indians (that are also pictured in the photo).

I shot a few pictures this morning of some waterfowl near where we are staying in Jackson Hole. These are Ring-necked ducks (pictured above) that were fishing for some early lunch.
