Award at NatureWorks

Hello Everyone,

Despite an ice storm and snow in a state that normally doesn't get this kind of weather, the NatureWorks Show was a beautiful event! On top of that, my painting Yellowstone Morning received an Award of Excellence at the show.

Upcoming Show and Sold Paintings

Hello Everyone,

It has been a while since I last posted, due to software issues. They keep updating software which makes things incompatible, unlike the world of fine art which is a stable source of beauty in our lives.

I just returned from the Southeastern Wildlife Expo in Charleston, South Carolina. The show boasted beautiful work by some of the best wildlife artists out there. I have been invited to do a special exhibition at next years show. Stay posted for further details.

Don't miss the exhibition of my latest work at the NatureWorks Show in Tulsa, Oklahoma next week. The show times are Friday-Sunday, Feb 28th-March 2nd. This is one of the top wildlife and nature art shows in the world. Don't miss the incredible show! Also be sure to look out for my ad in the upcoming issues of Fine Art Connoisseur.

New Paintings and Great News!

Hello Everyone,
 
I hope that all is well and you are anticipating the joyous season of Christmas! I received some great news the other day, I have been invited to participate in the prestigious Door County Plein Air Festival in Door County Wisconsin, July 2014. This is a great honor since it is by invitation only. I hope you can be there to see all the beautiful art that will be created that week.
 
Below I have two new paintings fresh off the easel. Sadly the digital images don't show the bold brushwork and subtle colors that only an original painting can have. Both of these would make a beautiful Christmas gift for that someone special. If you are interested in adding either of these masterful paintings to your collection, please let me know. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

The Waterfowl Festival

Hello Everyone! I hope that you are having a beautiful autumn. My family and I made a trip to Minnesota a month ago to see family and friends and to capture some of the autumn colors. The leaves were just starting to turn and it was so good to be back in my home state.

This next weekend, Nov 8-10, is the Waterfowl Festival in Easton, Maryland. For those of you who have never been there, they turn the town of Easton into a outdoor enthusiast's and art lover's paradise. Many world-class landscape and wildlife artists will be on-hand with their original paintings and sculptures. I will have many beautiful brand new paintings there, some of which are posted below. And this year I have the honor of teaching one of the MasterClass Workshops Thursday morning from 9am-3pm. Be sure to click on the links for more detail. This is one of the best art shows in the world!! I hope to see you there! In the meantime please check out some of my new paintings below.

Three Big Shows!

As the weather cools down, the art scene is heating up. My work will be exhibited in three big shows this autumn. The first is the American Wildlife Art exhibition at the Allentown Art Museum of the Lehigh Valley. This show will exhibit the works of many great wildlife artists, including masters like Robert Bateman and Carl Rungius. It is truly and honor to have my work in the same show as these great artists. The exhibition runs from September 29th through December 29th, 2013 with an Exhibition Preview Party on September 28th from 6-8pm. The Museum is located in Allentown, PA. Click on above links for more details, and don't miss the historic show!

The second show is the 1st Annual Cumberland Society of Painters Juried Exhibition at Richland Fine Art Gallery in Nashville, TN. Two of my paintings were accepted into this exhibition showcasing the work of 70 of the country's finest painters. The show opens October 3rd at 5pm with an awards reception judged by Peggi Kroll Roberts. The show will run through November 1st.

The third show, but definitely not the least, is the Waterfowl Festival in Easton, MD November 8th-10th. This will be my 9th year at the show, and I have been selected to teach one of the Master Classes at the Academy Art Museum on November 7th. Be sure to come and see my latest work at this incredible show.
