I just found out about a new art exhibition in the cities and thought I should post something about it in my blog (though I am not a part of the show). The exhibit is primarily abstract and surrealistic artwork, but what is truly unique about it is that all of the artwork is created by homeless artists and all proceeds from the sales of the work will go to the artist. I think it’s just fantastic that they are doing this and what a wonderful idea! 
Anyway, just thought it might be of interest to some of you. Visit the link posted in the comment for a little more information.

I am painting on my mountain bluebird and indian paintbrush commissioned miniature today. I don’t think it’s quite far along enough to post in the blog or commissions pages at the moment, but I plan to get a more recent picture of it online soon. The bluebird itself has progressed well, but the flower blossoms take a little longer as they have such an intricate structure.

These are the last three miniatures for the Miller Gallery’s show in Cincinnati, Ohio. I think all of them look nice in their frames. I am eager to see how they are received at the show.

Here are photos of two of my new miniatures for the Miller Galleries exhibition – both are pictured framed.

I’m adding the finishing touches on a few of my miniature paintings for Miller Galleries Christmas miniature show "Objects of Desire". I just received some of the miniature frames for the paintings — they look great! I’ll post photos of all of the new miniature paintings when they’re in their frames.
I’ve already posted that I will be attending the show opening in Cincinnati, which is going to be exciting in itself, but I’m (I should say "we’re" since I won’t be the only artist going – Karen & Bonnie are coming along too ) going to do some wildlife photo-shooting and study while we’re in town. I can’t wait!! I hope the weather stays nice for our outing. Actually, I could really use a few days away from my studio. I am so busy with all of the deadlines that are piling up (and extend as far as the eye can see 
), but I’d rather have it like this than the other option of not being busy. Right now I’m only limited by how quickly I can produce work. We even have a number of galleries on a waiting list – to be added when we can handle the workload.
As far as upcoming projects go….. As soon as I complete all of these miniatures, I will be working on a number of commissioned paintings requested by several clients (some of these are partially in progress at the moment).

I have been painting on my little watercolor farm scene today — I think the miniature is just about finished. It’s 1-1/2 x 2-3/4 inches and will show at Miller Galleries "Objects of Desire" opening in on the 18th of November. I am really looking forward to seeing the gallery.
As you may already know, I don’t paint buildings such as this too often anymore (especially if the painting doesn’t feature any wildlife), but it has been interesting painting all of the different textures in this piece. A number of years ago, I painted all types of subjects – large impressionistic (and realistic) garden florals, portraits, interior scenes, buildings, landscapes, abstracts, etc. - pretty much everything (most of them were awarded in competitions as well). As interesting as it was to paint so many different subjects, I like being a little more focused.

I have been busily painting all of these new miniature paintings for the upcoming miniature show at Miller Galleries in Cincinnati (Ohio). Here’s a photo of my little Sulphur Crested Cockatoo piece - nearly finished
The painting is 2-3/8 x 3-1/4 inches and is painted 1/6th scale. (the background of the painting doesn’t show well in this photo – it’s a deep burgundy/red color.)
