  Timberwolf Painting - The Starting Point

  This is the beginnings of a wolf piece - the sepia stage (My favorite part….where the essence of the piece is painted in crisp watercolor).  The painting is one of my larger miniatures at 24″ x 36″ - so adding all of the texture to the animal, covering the large space, can take a bit more time.  I do love having so much space to work with…

  The painting has progressed since these photos were taken and is now on my easel in the color phase and nearly completed (with a number of small adjustments still on my to-do list ).  I will have some newer snapshots of the wolf in it’s current painting-stage to post soon.

  This painting will be showing at Galleries West in Jackson Hole when it is completed - www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com.

  Federal Duck Stamp – Home State Celebration

  Joe Hautman speaking at the Federal Duck Stamp home state celebration in Owatonna, MN.

  My family and I were invited to Joe Hautman’s home state celebration recently in Owatonna, MN for the 2008 Federal Duck Stamp - working with some of the organization committee with the art events and children’s area.  Joe is working on a project with the University of Saint Thomas to create a Minnesota Wildlife Art Museum to highlight Minnesota artists and what they do to bring issues of conservation to light.  In the past has helped restore wetlands in MN through conservation groups also.
  

  
  

  I was asked to paint on location for the event, so I started a new piece the night before for the occasion…being that this event was held outdoors, I was a little concerned that the weather might not cooperate.  So, to prevent possible damage from an unpredicted rain storm, or whatever else nature might bring, I chose to start a new painting instead of bringing an existing work-in-progress.  (I actually, started blocking in the piece around 4am that morning…  More sleep dep… :/ lol! )  The cougar I’m working on is 20×24.  I will post a more complete image of the painting for you soon.

  A number of representatives of the media came through the event, including Kent Herbeck Outdoors television, to film, shoot photos, and interview.

  Cougar Painting Progress

  This is the progress on my cougar painting.  The cat itself is about done, but the background has not been developed.  I will have to find the habitat to put in the background and beneath the cat during one of my hikes around the area.
