Painting of lake Tahoe en plein air. Rocks and couldn't sitting in turquoise water.

Some art just feels like a warm story doesn't it? This painting with the woman cuddled with her companions just feels like a quiet moment of peace.

Work in progress continues on this Shrine for a Barn Owl

Got this fresh little fox face all painted in. I just want to squidge his adorable little cheeks. Detail from a larger painting.

Crows are a common theme in my artwork because they are the embodiment of cleverness and mystery. Factor in of course their love of shiny things I had to add some real gemstones

Gerry rigged this little tiny art studio video/ lighting system I'm waiting on one more attachment plate but I can have multiple arms on the rail with lights & cameras.

It's like letting your children leave the nest. Lol. I'm just going to have to keep creating others and hopefully love them as well.

I'm happy to say that my painting "The Gaze" has going to a new home. It really was hard to let this one go. I said to a friend, don't fall in love with your own art. And they replied "well that means you pleased your toughest critic! "

Spring and the bluebells make for a delightful painting that feels like you're about to enter a fantasy. I think I would walk through here both reverent and joyful.

Close up detail of the head which is about 1.5 inches scale. Imagine holding your arm very very steady to get the shine in her eyes with the paintbrush.

Very big close up of a teeny tiny detail of a larger painting. I wanted to make sure the cardinal looked good even up close. The bird is painted on silver leaf.

Painting of a boat beached in the shallows on low tide. The sailboat is gently leaning on its side in the sunset with a small town in the background and water reflecting the sky in pools on the beach.

I have a few sunny days paintings but this one feels like the most epitome of summer. It was a gift to a former salty sea dog sailor in my life.

A little more work on this big boy bumble bee on 24k gold. I'm going to wait a smidge and put the last highlights on.

A little montage showing how difficult it is to photograph gold leaf artwork. No pic shows the same mood twice

Painting at speed! This piece needs another solid working session on it for a few hours and then may be done. I'll need to let it settle in between.

I base it on that bluesky is such a newer platform a lot of people are moving over. People that may have a good following on other platforms so it takes awhile to get started over here.

Woah this painting deserves more than the 6 likes I see on it right now. Look at the style it's like a modern Norman Rockwell! Lots of narrative and interest and really well done. Check out Nick's work.

Thanks so much!

I'm excited because I submitted for the first time ever my artwork to a gallery for consideration. Up until this point I just been hobbyist but I finally found my artistic voice.
