Limiting my time on social media, it’s been helpful for my mental state!

In the meantime, I paint!! Here’s the mountain lion I am really proud of :)

It doesn’t get much fresher than this-just finished up these ravens about 30 minutes ago 🤘🏼

Went with a 90’s color scheme which was WAY out of my wheelhouse, totally fun to mess with though!

A moose!

Have you ever seen one in person? This particular guy is a Shiras moose, from the lower 48.

Not as big as an Alaskan guy, still way bigger than any farm animal you’ve seen 👊🏼

Here’s a little house finch drawing to hopefully brighten your day. I usually have to greet them with a customary ‘Hey Buddy!’ when I see ‘em 🤓

Pencil & colored pencil on toned paper

I work on canvas, and also wood (sometimes paper too)—little bit of everything!

Here’s one on wood:

I also love Golden! I prefer heavy body—for my purposes I thin it with water to use a bit like watercolor, & then build up layers from there. I have a few tubes of Windsor & Newton thrown in the mix too. I don’t really dabble with all the fun mediums/grounds that Golden has, I keep it pretty basic!

8” x 10” (framed to 13.5” x 15.5”)

Here’s a newly completed, fun & goofy painting of a grizzly bear with a gold tooth! When I found these awesome gold frames at Goodwill, I knew I had to do something ridiculous in them. Next up is a jackalope👊🏼

I had the chance to spend some time with the river otters at the High Desert Museum in Bend, OR back in Sept. Got some fun reference photos to use, and I liked this one of these two pausing before getting into more mischief.

Pencil + white colored pencil on toned paper

This bobcat is named timber, and he lives at the High Desert Museum in Bend, OR…he’s awesome!!
