a Fox.....

 I'm working on this 20" x 16" oil on linen of a Fox....Feeling the Bruno Liljefors influence.

The fox I met in Montana late summer a few years back. Photographed and observed.

Canadian Lynx

 I'm going to say this is done.   9 x 12 oil on cradled birchwood.

While in Montana I photographed and observed this beautiful Canadian Lynx.

Her she is:

Canadian Lynx in the making

 Just started this small oil on a cradled birchwood. It's a 9 x 12. Using both pallet knife and brush....think I'm gonna pop this one...go for some bold color...soon.

Oh and I painted these abstracts in between some wildlife painting .  They are 36" x 24" mixed media on canvas ....still wondering if and when the two will converge.

Jagged Descent, Coyote descending

 More work on this. I'm enjoying the process...Almost done.....real close.

Creating movement, life and energy with bits of color, scattered, short quick splashes .Contrasting bold with subtle nuances. 

A Coyote descending....

 Photographed this coyote on a trip to Montana.  I have plenty of reference for many more paintings to come.    This is a 24" x 18"  oil on linen.    Day 2 of work....off to the studio soon for day 3.

The Last Look and The Rights of Spring

 These are both done.   I am preparing for a show April 30 through May 29.

More details to follow.

"Our Natural World and Beyond"   at the Fallbrook Art Center....in Fallbrook Ca.

These two are complete and may be at the show....
