Sunny has her likeness done

 
Our dog, Sunny, sat for a few photos, from which I made this portrate. It was practice for a series (I just bought 30 canvases) about the dogs and cats at the local shelter. Am excited to see how that goes! Acrylic latex on 18 x 24 museum edge canvas.

Island Park # 25

 

Sometimes, you have to get close up to see all that your subject is about. Everything about the Island, is here in this intimate scene, rock, tree, sunshine, growth, and wind. Acrylic Latex on illustration board. 22 x 28"

Fun Run Tee Shirt

 
When not painting or birdhousing, I sometimes do graphics for worthy causes. This was one of those. A funny design of a fireman chasing a fire, they used to call firemen "smoke chasers" back in the day

Plein Air, Sandpiper Gallery

 
A week ago 38 artists drove out across the Blackfoot Indian Reservation to Plein Air their impressions of this place. I found this wonderful old truck in Camas, asked the owner if I could paint it (he said NO, 'cuz he liked the color it was), but then said yes to a Picture of it! What a great day!

Such a wet spring, the Clark's Fork of the Columbia River is running high..... and the "small" dam at the former Thompson Falls, is spilling full out.
