This is a new painting I’m working on of a pair of little Chickadees on Autumn dried vegetation. I really liked the energy in their poses. I chose a muted color scheme that I think compliments the birds well.

Almost finished with this small painting of a male kestrel landing on a textured log. It’s taken a bit longer than I had anticipated to place all the details, but I like the movement and color. I also love the pose of the bird in this piece. I was able to spend a while shooting…

Finishing off this small grizzly bear painting that will end up as a 5×7″ or 6×8″ depending on final cropping. She was a bear from a wildlife sanctuary and seemed to know she was being admired.

This seemed like a unique setting for a painting with the two little ones in the nest. This of course is the underpainting with color being added next. The painting should finish as an 8″ x 10″. The robins in this part of Minnesota this year seem to be more active and extra territorial, but…
