It was a holiday filled with working on pet portraits. It is always an honor to capture someone's furry loved one in a portrait that can be shared for years to come. 

If you are looking for a unique gift this year consider ordering a fine art print. We will help you build or buy the frame to match. There are available limited edit Mother Earth series prints and prints of my latest painting "Summer Evenings".

"Summer Evenings" was a labor of love! The painting is from our beautiful Boise greenbelt and is a 24x36 acrylic on canvas. We are lucky in Idaho to have long summer evenings. Darin created a perfect frame out of streaked wormwood using a new Mitter joint for the corners. The effect is splendid! This painting will hang in the TVAA Play of Light and Shadow show through January 2023. 

​Today was an exciting day. Over a year ago, I applied and was accepted to display my artwork at Eagle City Hall. A collection of Mother Earth paintings will hang for the month of April in the city hall lobby. What a great way to celebrate Earth Day this year, which is April 22. If you happen to be in the area, stop by and see them.

Just finished another Boise Community Education drawing class. It is alway challenging to try to teach all of the drawing concepts in such a short periods of time. Four  weeks is not enough, but I am happy to donate my time and share my experience.

My latest large  Mother Earth Triptych with natures most fierce elements "Wind, Ice, & Fire" acrylic on canvas.

This fundraiser is personal for me. I was born in Oregon and will always consider myself an Oregonian. The wildfires have brought me deep sadness, and nothing has been harder to read about than the young boy who died with his family dog. Heartbreaking.
I am offering anyone who donates to the Oregon Humane Society, one of the organizations assisting with animals displaced by the wildfires, a free Mother Earth print created from one of my paintings. I hope it will be a reminder to all of us to take care of mother nature, or the consequences can be severe. I hope you will help: https://www.facebook.com/donate/1024325921321504/3863644723663973/
