With the Holidays just around the corner, I want to extend an invitation to attend Whistle Pik Galleries 2008 Christmas Miniature Show Artist Reception Saturday, December 6th from 6 – 8 pm. My last post had a video of one of my paintings in the exhibit. This little teddy will also be in their contemporary miniature show. (..let me tell you, he was SO fun to paint… I don’t get to paint festive splashes of color every day, you know!
)
If you’d like a sneak peek, all of the show pieces will be on line and available for purchase beginning November 21, 2008. Click here to go to our website: http://www.whistlepik.com. Then click on “events” at the bottom of their home page to view the two part slideshow. They have a lot of variety in the styles of art in the exhibit, and it is awesome (both to see the art and the gallery itself) to see in person. I hope you can come.
Happy Holidays! (…a little early.
)

This is my newest video on YouTube - “On Golden Pond - Trumpeter Swans” traditional miniature in watercolor on board. The original is a part of a collection of my paintings being exhibited at the Whistle Pik Galleries’ Christmas Miniature Show this year, a contemporary miniature art exhibit in central Texas. (I’m very pleased to be a resident artist at the gallery. Please drop in if you have the chance…they are some of the nicest people in the business.

I have never painted a brown pelican before - this is my first. I have completed several small white pelican pieces, however - but the brown seemed to be much more ‘exotic’ in it’s coloring. It was a real treat to paint it.
Being in the near-center of North America, I never saw a lot of these birds until I traveled to the coasts. I have had so many nice opportunities to watch them - especially enjoying their stunning displays as they dive into the ocean fishing. One of my galleries on the East Coast suggested that I paint this one for them…so I did.
I chose this plumage phase of the pelican because of the striking coloring. The colors seemed to compliment each other so well. I posted a cropped image of the head so one can see the fine feathers and texture that are in the painting. (The scans are, however, a bit harsh compared to the original painting.)
The original watercolor was a part of a contemporary miniature show at Decoys and Wildlife Gallery - http://www.decoyswildlife.com and is now in a private collection.
Giclee prints are available of this piece - please drop me an email if you would like to add it to your collection.

This piece is a portrait of a Great Horned Owl that fades off into the warm brown background. I haven’t painted a vinyette recently… I usually try to complete the subject to the edges of the frame. (…something that one of my teachers taught that really stuck.
)
For this owl painting I wanted something softer. This is Sam from the Minnesota Raptor Center - one of their education birds that cannot be released. She lives at the Raptor Center. I love watching her. She always seems to have a regal look about her (regal…with attitude…).
The painting is about 6″ x 6″ and is watercolor painted on board.
