I hope every one's weekend was wonderful. We experienced some wonderful weather here in Oregon. It was in the 80's!

I decided to paint a little Black Capped Chickadee. It's up on Auction now. This piece was inspired by the two little birds that live in my bird house in the front of our house. The same pair of little birds have been coming back to make their family for the past 4 years. I like to sit and watch the birds bring their babies bugs and such while my kids ride their bikes. Soon the babies will be flying out of their nest.

Canadian Goose

So this week has been a long week for me. I have lots going on and dealing with another round of sickness that has hit my house. So I finally got a chance to sit down and I painted this Canadian Goose. It was an inspiration from a photo I took at the Wildlife Safari that is located here in Oregon. The Safari seemed to have a lot of Canadian Geese and Squirrels. I'm sure they just took up residents there. I know if I was animal that's where I would go. No worries about predators and LOTS of grain to eat!!

So I took about 500 photos or so. I know I will be pulling paintings out of a lot of these photos. It gave me a lot of inspiration for Elk and Buffalo.

I hope you enjoy!

Spring Time Drawing......

So I went back to the pencil and starting doing some drawing again. I decided to draw a Cow Elk and her Calf. Since Spring is here I know that all the Deer and Elk are having their little ones. I just love this time of year.

Well, I turned 33 years old on the 12th and I'm having a bit of a hard time with it. I'm noticing more grey hair and wrinkles. So as I am drawing this piece I was noticing I was having a hard time focusing. I already wear contacts and I think that my eyes are not going to get any worse.... wrong! So in the middle of this drawing I told my husband " I think I'm going to have to go get some "readers" ( you know the ones that the older people where to read the newspaper). I just couldn't believe that I would have to go buy a pair of those!! Needless to say they worked great!! Even though my 4 year old daughter tells me I look like Papa!

The First Blog....

Well, I have decided to start my own blog. I'm now an official Blogger. :-)

I have created this blog so if you would like to stay-up-to-date on my art you can. My goal for this year to to keep my clients and followers informed. I will be posting all my new work on here, whether it be an ACEO Card or a Large Scale Painting, or it could even be a Commissioned Portrait.

I'm gearing up for the 74th Annual St. Paul Rodeo in July. I have been trying to get new work out their, but I have been busy with my kids and taking a bit of a break. I told myself in April I was going to get back into the swing of things and start getting my creative mind back on track. A bit hard with the whole family being sick with the nasty flu bug.

I really hope everyone enjoys this as much as I will. I'm always looking for feedback so don't hesitate to post a comment. I would love to here back from you.
