More paintings at Jensen Ringmakers Gallery

Head over to Jensen Ringmakers Gallery in downtown Twin Falls to see these 8" x 8" flowers.  They are framed in 16" x 16" frames with a big wide Matt.  They look pretty cool when they are hung on the wall in a square.  These pieces are the product of my summer of sketching in gardens with a nice group of painters in Ketchum.  Fun times.  Great gardens!

Art & Soul Entry!

This is my entry for Art & Soul this year.   I just dropped it off at Plant Therapy in downtown Twin Falls.  It will be there for the next couple of weeks.  Plant Therapy is a great sponsor of the arts!  They have at least 5-6 other Art & Soul entries on display, and their venue is easy to find.  Stop in to say hello, see the art, and shop the vast array of essential oils they have on display!  510 2nd Ave S.

Two Bears Out Tonight!

When we lived in the "Campus House" our kids used to have a game called "Bears Out Tonight" just at dusk.  They had energetic fun, and had to come in with the street lights came on.  I was never quite sure if this game was just an upgrade from "tag" or another kids game with imagination.  It definitely helped them get their wiggles out.  These games are long gone except for the memories, but these bears reminded me of those simple times.  Bob the Bear on top is probably related to Barry the Bear on the bottom.  Both have a sadness in their eyes, not sure why.

Harriet the Hare

This is Harriet!  She is now in the lobby at the Twin Falls Center for the Arts!  It is part of a display of artwork by Full Moon Gallery artists.  Harriet's friend Betty the Bunny, was sold yesterday just as she arrived at the Center!  A good home for Betty!

Betty the Bunny

Another bunny.  Her name is Betty and she turned out much differently that I expected.  That is the fun of watercolor.  Betty looks a bit frumpled and has something to say.  Maybe it is that her wide set eyes give her a distorted view on the world.  It is that kind of day.

New Work!

Looking ahead to Easter and painting an Easter bunny or two in my "Wild" style.   Still using India ink and watercolor as my medium of choice.  This bunny lives in the landscape just outside my studio window.  He sneaks in and out of the boxwoods and stays close.  He may end up at the Full Moon Gallery in the day or so!

Hawk!

Added this HAWK to the collection at the Full Moon Gallery today.  I got an up close and personal look at this beautiful bird when visiting a Forest Service booth at an art fair.  He was gorgeous and aware.  Surprising that he was not bothered by the crowds.  He simply observed and looked regal.
