90+ framed pieces and still more to come. Everything from large and small framed original watercolor pieces, matted studies, prints, scratch and dents, a whoopsie or two, as well as cards, posters, even surplus supplies, paints, and paper.

Everything goes, except the dog and he is good for another year.

I am building a new larger studio on the ground floor level of hog barn #2 and want to start with a few empty drawers!

I have been working around the clock since Jackson Hole to get the Flying Pig Studio “guest house” ready for future retreats, art escapes, and one-on-one immersion painting classes.20111106 StudioSale2 300x199 Open House and Studio Sale

Stop by and visit me at this great new gallery just opening in Jackson Hole this year. I will have some paintings of the fabulous landscapes found at Grand Teton National Park as well as Yellowstone National Park.

I hope you can stop by at one of these events and fill me in on what you have been up to. I’ll look forward to seeing you on the patio of The Gorge White House, at Crater Lake, or the lounge of the Wort Hotel in Jackson Hole.

One Point Perspective

This animation of a window wall with balcony and railings, with and without shadows is drawn in one point perspective. Starting with a line drawing of overlapping boxes that represent the shapes which make up a typical  window opening and balcony. I set up this animation with the viewer standing parallel with the window wall with [...]

Two days ago it snowed 10″ in 24 hours. The snow is 148 inches – that is over 12 feet! Today is the last ranger-led snowshoe walk for the season. HARD WORK! Hope to see something beyond the mounds of snow!

Suggestions for a Camel's Name???

Do you have a good suggestion to name my camel? Here is one of my latest paintings and I would like a good name for him. The only camel name I know is “Joe” but I am hoping for something a little more unique. Please post your suggestions! I would love to hear them.

Moving from soft to hard edges on a wet to dry paper creating light to dark shapes. Happy Painting! (Click thumbnails to enlarge)   1. [...]

Pallet Knife Tip

Experimentation is the path to creativity. An artist should continuously explore new and different techniques to apply pigment that help you interpret what you see rather than relying on drawing with your brush. Often the use of a new tool can result in a fresher more natural looking effect. Crisp convincing detail can be easily [...]

I was recently selected as the Artist in Residence at Crater Lake National Park. I will be spending 2 weeks in May on snowshoes capturing the beauty of the park in watercolors, sketchbook journaling, and photographs. It is going to be a great adventure.
