Read MoreWorks in Progress – Beginning of 2012
A lot has been going on with my art lately and that’s a good thing. But, it has left me with some unfinished pieces I need to get working on again. Two pheasant pieces I started late last year and two new art pieces I started this year. I don’t normally post “work in progress” on the site but I thought I would this time to give some of you an idea of the different themes I am playing around with. The color and composition in these are far from finished, these are mainly concept pieces to flesh out some detail and over all layout. I don’t have working titles for...

Read MoreWinter’s Solitude
Winter’s Solitude As much as I love technology and gadgets there is something very appealing to getting away from it all now and then. I think sometimes a person needs a bit of isolation to clear out the everyday noise that builds up over time. It also allows a person to really reflect on themselves and their life. That is how my latest artwork came about. I wanted to do another cabin winter scene that played around with the idea of solitude. Kind of a person in tune with nature theme. The solitude I refer to for this piece is aimed basically towards society and modern life. A chance...
Read MoreNorthern Lights – Holiday Edition
Northern Lights – Holiday Edition This was a piece that came about as a commission request for the National Rifle Association to use as their 2011 greeting cards. They wanted to do a holiday take on my previous “Northern Lights” artwork. This placed more emphasis on the cabin as opposed to the surrounding scenery. The cabin has been decorated with garland, bows, and lights in a subtle way for a festive mood. You can also catch a glimpse of a Christmas tree in one of the front windows. The final touch is a large wreath adorning the shed out back. What I also wanted to...
