This is a larger painting that I was working on a little earlier this week. It’s a 20" x 30" watercolor of a bull elk, titled "Passage". This piece developed pretty rapidly. I painted a study for this larger painting as a miniature 4" x 6". The miniature study can be
seen in this post.

I just received notice that the three paintings that I sent to the "16th International Miniature Art Show" at the Seaside Art Gallery in Nags Head, North Carolina were juried into the exhibition. The Outer Banks gallery was founded in 1961 (the barrier islands of North Carolina). A reception for the show will be held at the gallery on May 26th from 7-9pm.
The gallery posts the entire show online (and will remain online for a full year) - the only miniature show of this type that does this, that I am aware of. (artwork featured in the show is still being added - the online exhibit will be complete by May 4th) The show usually exhibits over 600 works of art by artists from around the world. The miniature show will run May 4, 2007 - June 02, 2007. Visit the the event online by following this link. 
My Mom, Karen, and sister, Bonnie, also have paintings in the exhibition.
This painting is one of my new miniature pieces I made for the show that pre-sold before the exhibition opened - "A Little Unsteady - Whitetail Fawn". (My recent paintings "Ruby Throated Hummingbird" and "Marsh Evening - Snowy Egret" also found new homes during the pre-sale.)

For the most part, this piece was painted yesterday with a few touch ups this morning.
I have a few minor things to adjust on it, but this bull elk miniature is pretty much completed. The first post
about this piece is here with a basic wash underpainting.

Here is another new piece that I just started working on yesterday, a miniature watercolor of an elk - should have finished soon. You can see that I have a light wash underpainting and have started to work in the darks of the piece.

Here is a photo of the fawn miniature that I am working on right now (see the original pencil sketch in this post). A collector from Germany was interested in seeing how the painting was coming along, so here it is. 
This is a close-up photo of the painting - just the fawn.
I will be painting in some grasses and such around the legs and lower areas. I will be adding a faint suggestive background to the painting also.

This is one of the new smaller/miniature paintings that I am working on - a little sunlit fawn. This is the initial sketch that I made for the painting. I plan to keep the background simple and have a little grass in the foreground.
Almost all of the paintings I am working on right now are spring related. :sigh: Only a few more months to go for spring flowers.

I have just about finished my horse and foal painting as you can see by the image posted left. It’s an 8×16 sized painting. I will be framing it up for our show reception tomorrow at Galleries West in Jackson Hole, WY :) (www.gallerieswestjacksonhole.com).
I have been painting my coyote painting in the gallery today. It’s come along fairly well — I have been fine tuning some of the shapes of the boulders and such.
