Wolves

This one I like. It's 18x24 and called "Something Of Interest". I'm beginning to think that in the winter I'm influenced to paint winter scenes (it's almost the beginning of April and we actually got almost 6" of new snow last night). I put a bit more detail into the fur on this one. Am searching for somewhere between Bob Kuhn's lack of fur detail and maybe Terry Isaac who paints more detail than I could have fun with. After all it's about fun isn't it.

Oil Painting

Not something I usually do because most of my work is acrylic but it's always a bit fun to work with different materials. Guess I got the idea after my brother recently visited. These are actually water soluable oil paints but I just used them right out of the tube. I believe oils are richer in color than acrylics and it's certainly an advantage that they stay workable longer but where do you stack a bunch of wet paintings in the cave? It's a smaller painting of Mt Moran in the Tetons. So now I'm back to acrylics and working on a couple of wolves. I'm not a wolf hugger by any means but they are interesting to paint.

Park Ranger

Got the title from Peg...seemed good to me...especially since this was a situation in which the landscape overwhelmed the animal...guess that happens and one has to make adjustments...really like the background, light coming from the right and above...not sure if finished but nice enough to show you. Think this is 18x20 which shows you can get space with small painting.

Whitetail Deer

Nice smaller painting...paying more attention to edges with a snow background. I think 16x20 and it turned out well...pleased with it but still working on many things.
