RAVEN IV


SOLD to a customer from Abbotsford BC
ACEO 3.5 x 2.5 inches, original acrylic. The worse the weather the more ravens my food tends to attract. But they do scare off the smaller birds...even the starlings who usually appear in great numbers..

RAVEN V


SOLD to a customer from Abbotsford BC
This recent snow really upset the ravens. They don't like landing in powder, but did ok on the street where the cars had driven. This morning they got a good breakfast of trout bones & fins. This is another ACEO 3.5 x 2.5 inch acrylic.

RAVEN


SOLD to a customer from Abbotsford BC
I have never figured out whether these are ravens, crows, or blackbirds. A good title would be "Blackbird With Blueberry". They are ravenous (raven?) eaters & are particulary carnivorous. AND they are agressive. I feed them peanuts every day with my morning coffee. ACEO 2.5 x 3.5 inches acrylic. They leave the coffee alone, but do like the peanuts!

Abstract Floral


SOLD to a customer from Ontario, Canada
This is another ACEO 2.5 x 3.5 inch watercolor. This uses a negative painting technique. Until I get through the tax season I am only going to do these little guys.

Where Grange Meets Range

This 22x28" pastel was drawn from a quick photo I took very close to the Wyoming-Montana border. It was quite challenging to successfully render these extreme value variables in complementary colors. This won Best of Show at the Western Spirit Show in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This is framed in a gold/copper massive frame with museum board as a matting.

Limes ACEO Card

SOLD to a customer from Watsonville, CA

I thought I would make some ACEO cards with a left over piece of museum board. The cards are only 2.5" x 3.5". I am not used to painting this small, but it is rather fun. I hear that some people actually trade these with one another just like the old baseball cards.

House in Red & Blue


SOLD to a collector from Laramie, Wyoming
This small house originally faced Railroad Street and although the entryway was changed, the address remained the same. The 2 sides of the roof were at different levels and the gable over the addition to the porch a bit swayed, but the home was charming.
9x12" watercolor framed, golden wood.

The Sky's the Limit

SOLD to a collector from Laramie Wyoming
This is another example of one of Wyoming's vast SKYscapes. One of the main comments I hear from people visiting our area is the large amount of horizons that are visible. Pastel, 22x28"
