I just went on a photoshoot the other day - these little guys were SO cute! A few litters of baby wolves.. (This one really liked being scratched and cuddled.
) I also held a baby woodchuck who crawled into my jacket to get warm…he was about the size of a gerbil….
I’m kind of eager to get started on a painting of one of these little wolves.

First of all, I need to thank everyone that came to the NatureWorks show in Tulsa this past weekend - It was fabulous to meet all of you…and see familiar faces again! My family and I really appreciate your support for us and our work. We really love what we do and are so pleased to see that others enjoy our finished pieces and the wildlife that is so meaningful to us as well!
Thanks for making the 2008 NatureWorks one of our best showings in Tulsa!
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year! ( www.natureworks.org )
Also…. Some gallery news - For those who may not know, we are now represented full time in Texas by Whistle Pik Galleries ( www.whistlepik.com ). Their gallery is one of the most beautiful show places that I have seen and the people who run the gallery are superb.
Our gallery in Montana is expanding ( www.moosehorngallery.com ) - they will soon be opening another Moosehorn Gallery in Washington state. The Montana gallery will also be having a large event this summer that we will be attending in Big Sky with a new collection of artwork. …so we will be busy at our easels for a while.
Lastly (..but definitely not least…) An article about our family, "A 24/7 Family Affair", is featured in this month’s issue of Wildlife Art Magazine. Thanks to Wildlife Art and our author, Fran Howard! ( www.wildlifeartmag.com )

This is a photo slide show of the MASF exhibition in Largo, Florida (where one of my paintings was awarded the Best Work by a Young Artist Award). There really was a variety of work there. The newly elected president of the MASF was there at the show, whom I met for the first time - he told me that the collection of paintings that I had in the show sold out.
(I was also told a little bit about some of my newest collectors…
I was very pleased to attend the exhibition with Joan Willies RMS (originally from the UK, an accomplished miniature artist and author that I met the first year I entered the MASF exhibition) and the workshop of artists that she brought to the exhibit.
Joan was hosting a workshop, teaching miniature art, at her studio in Florida. There were students who flew in from different parts of the US for her course that week. …and being in Florida already, of course I HAD to go see her!
(She’s a sweetheart, who could resist!) …as anyone who has had the experience knows, lunch with a workshop of artists is completely unforgettable!!
Too much fun! …and everyone was (and is) so sweet!! I was pleasantly surprised to see familiar faces, too.
The "art chats" were fabulous!! (Thanks so much, Joan!!
)
These are a few more photos from Florida…

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! Again, we were so fortunate to have such a wide variety of birds and such show up for us. (…even a pair of young raccoons fishing at sunset in Merritt Island!

) …so much material for new works!
