This is how my howling wolf miniature painting is looking. There are still some things on it that I am working on , but I think it’s going to finish up pretty well.

This is a new miniature painting I started not long ago. A snowy egret. I have been doing quite a bit of painting, but not enough posting here on the blog. One of my friends wanted to see this piece, so here it is…

It is pretty small - due to the 1/6th rule. For those who aren’t aware, There are a lot of miniature societies around the world that have exhibitions for miniature art and one of the rules for their miniature shows is to paint 1/6th lifesize or smaller. So, this little iris is under 1".

Note that the colors here didn’t turn out as well as they often do on my scans - for some reason it looks kind of heavy and seems to have taken the ‘warm fuzzy’ colors out of it. Hopefully the final one will be better. It is turning out to be quite a bit like the little bunny painting that I did last spring that was 8×10. I’m not completely happy with it yet, but it’s getting there.

My family and I are recovering from our weekend show (snow) adventure. We drove into Iowa with our load of artwork as they were shutting all of the interstates down from the huge snowstorm - we hit a few white-out spots of the blizzard on the smaller roads and had to turn around a number of times. Eventually we just drove around Iowa. (Hmmm… it sounds humorous now. ) Our usual 12 hour drive to Tulsa took 27 hours (only stopping for gas and food). We almost missed the preview patron night and did miss out on some of the earlier events, but the show this year was great. NatureWorks moved the show to a new location this year with fantastic results. Next year is planned for the same spot - we hope to see you there! (…and no blizzards next year!! )
Happy to be back home - although the 78 degrees in Tulsa was nice .

A photoshoot on a little less than 3 hours of sleep entitles you to a few breaks, right?

A little stop to visit with some critters My favorite part of getting out to shows and events is being able to stop and study wildlife or habitats from the area and gather a lot of fresh reference for painting. This is a photo of my dad being mugged by a couple of jays at the Tulsa Zoo.
