Thanks for dropping by....

This is a new painting I’m working on at the moment for Miller Galleries — a farm scene/red barn. It is a miniature piece measuring only about 1-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches.

I have been painting on a few of the requested waterfowl paintings I have in progress at the moment. They are coming along nicely.
I have included a photograph of a detail portion of the wood duck piece.

I have been in need of some specific references for a new piece. I have been requested to paint a beaver painting. So…. today we were off before sunrise for a photoshoot in the woods for some beaver habitat . (Of course, we did gather plenty of references for many other paintings at the same time.
— you can never really have "too much" reference for new work.
)
The shoot turned out very well, I thought. I have some very nice material to work from. (Thanks to everyone who helped me in locating their territory.
I appreciate it!!!)
My Mom, Karen, and I also made an appearance at Borders Bookstore here in the metropolitan area for a book signing later in the day. (We are the co-illustrators of "V is for Viking" children’s alphabet book, published by Sleeping Bear Press)

This is a small (and quick ) rough color sketch I made not too long ago of a Greater Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. I just started a miniature painting from the sketch and other references I have on hand.

I’ve been going through reference to plan out some new paintings. I will be starting some of them in the next few weeks for some of my galleries (such as Galleries West’s "Little Jewels Miniatures Show" in Jackson Hole). I’ll be posting images of them as soon as I get going on them.

Here is the first miniature painting I started for Miller Galleries show (as posted on the 16th). It’s a floral of a potted geranium. The plant in it’s pot is just under 3" high. This piece is nearly finished also.

Here is the color painting of the stillife (the sketch for this piece is in the previous post). It is nearly finished right now. It has progressed fairly quickly.
