It has been a while since my last post. I decided to take a sabbatical from blogging and a few other things. I will be posting more regularly now that the holidays have passed.
Happy New Year!!

I am putting the final brushstrokes on my new American Bald Eagle painting (miniature). It is 8×10.
I will be sending it out to Jackson Hole for my gallery’s miniature exhibition of miniature paintings (Galleries West Fine Art ).![]()

My white wolf miniature piece is just about finished. I have been brushing up on the habitat featured in the background of the painting today. I think it has turned out well.
I will be sending this piece to Jackson Hole for my gallery’s miniature artwork exhibition.![]()

Here is the sketch for my new American Bald Eagle painting. The painting is going fairly quickly, so I should be finished with it in the next few days. I am eager to get back to my large white tiger painting that is sitting in the back of my studio (looking at me)

I did a little work on my moose bronze today. I usually have to take a few breaks from my paintings during the day, so I like to switch to sculpting for a short while during that time.

I have just started two new pieces - one of them is a fairly large scaled painting. They are both in their sketch phase at the moment, but I will likely start painting on them this evening.
The first piece is of a white tiger — one of the beautiful tigers we studied at the Cincinnati zoo (read this post here… ). This is the large painting. I plan to paint it about 24"x36".
The second painting is of an American bald eagle and will be about 9×12. I haven’t painted one of these for a little while and I really like the expression of this bird. It should render well in paint.
I will try to get photos of these pieces in their sketch form up on the blog in the next few days. ![]()

This was a hike into the Black Canyon Wilderness in the Tetons early one morning before we had to be back in Jackson at our gallery. I was surprised that it was more of a woodsy trail and not as much of a 'canyon', but gorgeous none the less. Several bubbling streams and an assortment of wildflowers were the highlight of the trail....

Here are some other images from Florida for everyone to take a peek at. Many thanks to our friends for their help in getting the wildlife to cooperate... ;) lol!
