Winter

I’ve been considering making a set of greeting cards of my winter critters. My thought is to sell them at local “Made in Idaho” shops and probably on Etsy. What do you think? (I’d get rid of the giant red signature on the squirrel). I wonder if people would buy them. I think theyContinue reading “Winter”

Monterey Cypress

4×4″ oil on deep edge canvas A painting from my sisters photo. Last month my sister was in Monterey and took a picture of this tree and sent it to me.

WIP

I thought I’d give this a whirl for today’s little painting. It’s 4×4.” I’m going to let it dry and then come back and work on a few things. But in general it was fun to try. I’m really more of a portrait painter than landscape painter.

With some favorites left out…. looking back gives me hope for future paintings. Each painting is a leap of faith and I never know how or ifContinue reading “Favorites”

Alligator

This one is pretty much ridiculous, but it will launch me to rock star status with my naturalist boys. I was going to paint another apple because they are fun and simple and round. But it was pointed out to me that an Apple is not a Critterscape. I made progress on my 48×36″ dancerContinue reading “Alligator”
