This is a sketch for a miniature painting that I just started – a bunny. I have a lot of work (paintings) that I’m starting right now – for spring shows & galleries, etc. as well as commission work. …more sketch posts are on their way.

This is the layout I chose for my butterfly piece that I have been sketching out – will be adding some extra interest in the background. I started working on it in color at the NatureWorks show in Tulsa. I’ll get a post up here with the color version soon.

This is one of the paintings I finished up for the NatureWorks Show and Sale in Tulsa, Oklahoma this past weekend – a little wolf. The photo here is a little harsher than the real painting – but you get the idea. The sketch for this miniature is posted here.
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. Tags: animal, artist, artists, trips, tulsa_oklahoma, weather, wildlife, zoo
