"The Savage," oil on linen, 24"x18", was inspired by my first trip to Alaska back in 2012. The title of this piece is actually the name of the river where I was privileged to observe this gorgeous bull caribou. #caribou #oilpainting #art #wildlifeart #westernart

Here’s a timelapse vid of the drawing part of my painting, “The Catbird Seat.” The completed painting can be seen on my timeline.

Had an amazing time at the opening of the “Night Of Artists” exhibition at the Briscoe Western Art Museum. Just me with 3 of my four paintings in the show. Show is officially open to the public now through May 11th.

I was thinking about our dog, Brutus today — missing him. This is the only painting I did of Brutus. It's a little 11"x14". He’s been gone a long time now and I wish I had done more paintings of him. #bostonterrier #oilpainting #dogportrait #animalart #missubrutus

For #throwbackthursday, from 2014, "Birds of a Feather," oil on linen, 30"x40". Love late summer in the mountains. #mountaingoats #art #oilpainting #westernart #wildlifeart

For your Friday, the impossibly adorable baby bison (often referred to as a red dog), “Plainsman Prince,” oil on linen, 60”x48”. #bison #buffalo #art #wildlifeart #oilpainting

For Wolf Wednesday, "In The Company Of The Wolf," oil on linen, 16"x10". #wolf #wolves #art #wildlifeart #oilpainting #westernart

One of the more rewarding experiences I've had as an artist was being contacted by a friend from high school that I hadn't seen in nearly 30 years to do a small commission for her husband's birthday. This was the painting, "The Grizz," oil on linen, 9"x12".

Just returned from a winter trip to Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is an extraordinary place anytime of year, but in particular, in the winter. This little fox I had the pleasure of photographing was just another amazing moment during my time there.

Throwback Thursday! From 2019, "Heavy Is The Crown," 24"x18", oil, is a play on Shakespeare's line from "Henry IV," "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." It's both a nod to the physical burden of antlers that size and the challenges that come with being the top bull during the rut. #tbt

“Out of the Frying Pan,” 36”x24”, oil, depicts a small group of pronghorn bucks escaping the threat of a raging wildfire. #pronghorn #westernart #art #oilpainting #viralart

More ravens! Because, you can’t have too many ravens…obvs. “Whispers Of A Conspiracy,” oil on linen, 16” x16”. #ravens #wildlifeart #birdsinart #art #oilpainting

I've spent a couple of months a year out hiking/painting/sketching/photographing in the wilds of North America for over 20 years now and I have only seen a mountain lion in-person once. They are deeply private cats. "The Catbird Seat," oil on linen, 40"x35". #art #wildlifeart #cougar

“The Scratching Post,” 24”x18”, oil on linen. #buffalo #bison #magpie #art #westernart #wildlifeart #oilpainting

Painting Tip of the Day: Having trouble with edges - soft vs hard, lost vs found? Try these basics first. 1) Soften edges that turn into shadow. 2) Lose edges at the peaks of highlights. 3) Soften edges anytime an edge passes behind another. 4) Soften any edges that go off the frame of reference.

Painting Tip of the Day: Use the largest brushes you can. They should make you a little uncomfortable. This will, over time, improve your brushwork and ability to say more with less — economy of stroke.

One for #TBT, "Sages of the Sagebrush," oil on linen, 48"x36". #pronhorn #art #oilpainting #westernart #wildlifeart #throwbackthursday

Another small-ish one for the "Night of Artists" exhibition at the Briscoe Western Art Museum, opening March 30, 2025. "Sticks And Stones," oil on linen, 20"x16" #coyote #oilpainting #art #wildlifeart #westernart #artshow #artexhibition

For anyone curious, a detail shot of a new painting. You can see the texture, broken color and variation of hues that small JPEGs can often eliminate. These aspects of my work are what give my paintings an impression of detail — especially when converted to small images for the web.

One of 4 paintings I will have in the Briscoe Western Art Museum's, "Night of Artists", exhibition opening March 30, 2025. "The Ravenswood Conspiracy," oil on linen, 36"x24". #ravens #art #oilpainting #westernart #wildlifeart #artshow

My work, generally speaking, is narrative — I'm inspired to tell stories of the places and wildlife I love. "The Introvert," oil, 30"x24", captures the moment a bachelor herd of bighorn sheep encounter a marmot that has no intention of making new friends. #art #westernart #wildlifeart #rams

Drawing time! A graphite drawing of a couple of sandhill cranes. "Sandhill Crane Study," 19"x24", graphite on Bristol Board. #drawing #art #sandhillcrane #wildlifeart #birdart

A couple of works-in-progress. Generally, I work on one painting at a time but deadlines occasionally dictate I work on multiple pieces simultaneously.
