This is a sketch for a painting of a leopard. I hope to have a painting of it completed relatively soon for an upcoming exhibition.

The flowers are from one of my trips to the Grand Teton National Park to study the wildlife and plants (and Tetons 
). There were so many different wildflowers blooming during that trip, the landscape didn’t seem real - it was so beautiful!

I’ve been commissioned to paint a small fox kit painting - a portrait. These are three sketches I made in preparation for the painting, though I might just paint all of the poses. The painting is for a very nice lady that just loves red foxes.
I had the wonderful opportunity to actually hold this little guy - so painting him is always special to me. It was so much fun to be able to get that close to him - he was just adorable! (Actually, he started to get a little sleepy and doze a little because he was so comfortable. ) I’ve been really lucky to be able to get up close to animals and wildlife and study them like I have. (Even bottle feeding a litter of hungry wolf puppies once….that was really a unique experience! ) It has made a world of difference in the inspiration that I draw from in my work. (A huge thanks to all of you that have helped me have these opportunities!!!)
I don’t post myself on the blog too often, but I just enjoyed my time with this little fox so much, I couldn’t resist (sorry). (Umm… my mouth is open because I’m talking. 
)

I just sketched out a few designs for some new paintings of western hummingbirds. They have such a variety of them out here in the western states. In Minnesota and the rest of the eastern US we have only the ruby throated hummingbird species visiting. The two hummingbirds featured in my sketches in this post are the Allen’s hummingbird and the Rufous hummingbird.
