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.

I have quite a schedule coming up if all that is planned comes through…
I am pleased to announce that a special showing featuring my family and a few other artists is planned the last weekend of October in Frenchtown, NJ – we will be attending this exhibition. (My family and I are planning to have 30 or more pieces for that exhibition.) This gallery is also having their annual “Fall Show and Shoot” over Labor Day weekend (September)that will have some of our new work on display as well. http://www.decoyswildlife.com/
We are now represented in Fredericksburg , TX at Whistle Pik Galleries and will be sending them more work (and larger paintings) to have in their gallery. As in previous years, all three of us will have work in their annual Christmas Miniature show. http://www.whistlepik.com/
Galleries West Fine Art, within minutes of the Grand Teton National Park, in Jackson Hole, WY is hosting a wildlife exhibition, “Wild Spirit: Interpretations of Wildlife”, August 10-24 in their newly expanded gallery. A collection of my (and my family’s) new pieces will be shown there as well. We will be painting in the gallery on the 14th & 15th for their annual “Fall Roundup” during the Jackson Fall Arts Festival (6th - 16th) in September. http://gallerieswestjacksonhole.com/
Another gallery showing in beautiful Paradise Valley at the North entrance to Yellowstone National Park - Moose Horn Gallery in Livingston, MT also has a show for my family planned in September – we will be painting in the gallery on the 16th & 17th. http://www.moosehorngallery.com/
There are a number of other exhibitions that are still being confirmed…so more updates soon….

A wildflower hike started off the morning for me today — of course, it wasn’t exclusively wildflowers.
I was followed for part of my research trek by a little resident red squirrel. He wasn’t too thrilled that I stopped to study some flowers near his tree and voiced his opinion of it. I thought it was a wonderful to see this little creature defending his territory, even though I get to see red squirrels in my own backyard.

Today I am finishing a number of paintings for our show at Galleries West out here in Jackson Hole. I am a bit anxious to get to Jackson Hole, anticipation for the show I suppose. :)

I just put the finishing touches on this piece. :) I have a few of my other artworks in progress that are close to the final stages of painting as well, so I’ll have to get those on the blog as well.
The cougar painting is 11" x 14". It has a very striking look to it, I think - like a predator on the prowl. It will have it’s debute in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at Galleries West Fine Art.

This is a scan of one of my older field sketches - a wild lupine from Wyoming. I made this study as well as several others of the native summer wildflowers.
During my last springtime research trek to Wyoming, I had the opportunity to study a wealth of wildflowers in the parks. I have plans to do some similar research later this year. I find that there are so many beautiful things to paint and sketch from my research in wild places, I often find it difficult to choose which subjects to use in my work.
I am brushing up on a number of paintings and preparing to begin on a few new pieces for a number of exhibitions this spring/summer. :D If anyone has any comments, please drop me a note or post a comment here in the blog. Your input is appreciated.
