My Current Owl Phase...

Some one recently told me they wanted their first "Purchase of Art as a Married Couple" to come from me, and to be one of my sweet Owls. I was so touched and so inspired that Ive since started several more Owl paintings and I have spent a bunch of time on detailed Owl drawings.

I hope to soon finish the Owl paintings Ive started, but for now here are several of my completed works:

My Current Peacock Phase

I usually paint in phases. I get a subject or color under my skin and I need to paint and sketch and paint that obsession. One of my most recent itches have been peacocks.

Here are a few items Ive been working with, some finished and some not.

Finshed. Hummingbird in Orange

6"x6". oil and acrylic on canvas.


ive been working on this little guy for a while- off and on. I have a few more bird paintings to finish, but ive promised my self not to START anymore in 2011. This is probably gonna be the last humming bird you see from me in quite a while.

2010 paintings / Leave a Comment, Win some art.

The Skinny: Post a comment. Win some art.

Details: Tell me which painting (of mine) is your favorite, and what kind of subject matter you would like to see me start painting.

In early January I'll randomly select SEVERAL (if not all) comments and send the writers some art. I was thinking I'd send a RHINO DOODLEs, a PAINTING CALENDAR, or maybe a colorful sketch of their suggestion. I am happy to send this art to anywhere in the world, so this little competition is open to anyone/anywhere. I'd really like as many suggestions as possible- so tell your friends and your lovers.















































Back Story: I started to post a smattering of work I've completed in the last year when I realized: "Holy-Moley I painted a ton of birds in 2010!" New 2011 Goal: I will finish the Bird paintings I have started, and I shall start NO MORE. Of course, Ive started a few other paintings but im really looking for new direction and I'd really love to hear a few suggestions.

Hoorah for Sunday.....Sunday is Painting day....

A Giraffe, a hummingbird, and a Dino. These are a few items Ive been working on throughout today. Having the first real day off Ive had in a while (no road trips, no feeling awful, no massive amount of errands to run) Ive been trying to catch up on a few paintings.

OTHER paintings Ive been working on today that are not pictured, but should be coming soon (should i ever finish them) include 2 other bird paintings, another stegosaurus painting, and "Charlie & Rex" - my dino/unicorn love sympathy that will probably never be complete. ( to see more of Charlie & Rex click HERE or on the title itself)

Also of note: this is an awful pic of my dino. However so much of the canvas was wet (and REFLECTIVE) that a decent pic couldn't be taken by my unskilled hands.

mmm..... i think its FINISHED!

So, Ive been painting on this canvas for well over a year, but Im still not certain that Im done with it. The thing about this painting.. is that it seems to be finished, but I just cant tell. I think im gonna need to stare at it for another 6 months to be sure.
