Kona

 What I'm working on right now. This is a commission of sweet Kona.   She passed not too long ago.

16" x 20" oil on linen.

Lil, Sparkle and Dash

 It's been awhile since I've posted.  Not because I haven't been productive just tortoise like in my posting.

So here's a commission I completed recently.........Moma Lil, Baby Sparkle and Daddy Dash..

Painted with oil on a cradled birchwood substrate.  

 

Also the Los Angeles Zoo reached out to me to help in their conservation efforts so I sent this painting to them recently....

Lynx Painting

 This is a 16' x 20" oil on clear gessoed linen.   Started this one in the mid tone department and have been expanding out to more contrast.  How vivid to make the colors...Do I gray them down...hmmmm

Good news is I'm having fun.  So here it is so far a Lynx in the garden..pretty close to done.

A little more work:

Fox Painting.....Climbing a Tree

 This is a 16" x 12" oil on linen.  The linen was gessoed with a clear gesso.  

Another painting....Process continued.  

Each painting I create furthers my understanding and abilities to get closer to what I want.  What I want changes as I progress.      Yes, Im enjoying the journey.

Here it is  almost done..maybe one more day of attention.

"Makes you Wanna Howl" Coyote

 24" x 30" oil on linen..."Makes you Wanna Howl" or "Yip Yip Coyote"...Not sure.

Second painting of the year....I photographed this guy on a trip to Montana. I'm thinking this is done

Here he is:
