Erratic in the snow #29

Trying for mood, toned it down a bit, a different light than the others. I liked working the small warm color contrast in, made those colors important! 22" x 28" acrylic latex on illustration board.

Filling holes in the Erratic series, one or two left to do. One day photographing gives material for 2 months of painting, I like that. 22" x 28" acrylic latex on illustration board.

Dry Fly

Painted this morning for the Hockaday Miniatures exhibition later this spring. 8" x 10" acrylic latex on canvas in a nice second hand store frame. Will look good in some guys log house I'm thinking, and make a few bucks for the Museum.

waiting for a make over

This is a "practice" painting for the quick draw in Billings at the Yellowstone in March. One hour, 24 x 36 gallery canvas, acrylic latex, ready , set, go! I will not be doing this subject, but one like it. Drying time was an issue, will have to use a hair dryer I believe. Oh, this one will hang in the "babies room" (the garage where the '65 bug lives)

two puppies

our local animal shelter, TRACS will be having an auction in March. I am sending this and one other painting to raise money for puppies. I got my puppie there! Acrylic latex on canvas 8" x10"

Erratic in the snow #27

those of you who know Thompson Falls, might know that this series is being painted of the Mule Pasture a fitness recreation area north of town. Certain times of day, weather, or year can change the look completely. I walk there often. Acrylic latex on illustration board 22" x 28"

Erratic in the snow #26

Deeper and darker into the woods, things die and fall down creating a pattern on the forest floor. Dried grasses and rocks are the only warm spot. Acrylic latex on illustration board 22" x 28"

This is a re-do, burned the old one so no-one will ever know....oh,oh, I just told you......don't tell anyone else, ok? Acrylic latex on illustration board 22" x 28"

Montana Elevator #52

Passed over this one early on, it was being dismantled, but upon review, liked the openess and light. Acrylic latex on illustration board 22" x 28"

Montana Elevator #46

Re-visited the Elevator series this winter, filling in a few more paintings, burning the "dogs", and actually, this is a re-do of one that was not so sharp. Like the re-do. Acrylic latex on illustration board 22" x 28"

Erratic in the snow #21

In the depths of winter often the only green around is the moss on the erratics and the pine needles. But even the trees try not to be green. Acrylic latex on illustration board. 22" x 28"

Sometimes the sun shines and it changes everything. Winter is not always about shades of blue. Acrylic latex on illustration board 22" x 28"
