I just finished this 16″x16″ mixed media painting. I really like the mood of this particular painting.

Great Blue
This is a video of a Great Blue Heron flying with a fish in it’s beak.
I have never seen a heron grab a fish in the middle of a lake. They are big wading birds that wonder along shorelines. They frequently stand still for extended periods and can be easy to miss, blending with limbs and vegetation. I spotted this particular heron hundreds of feet from shore flapping around in a frenzied manner on the surface of the lake. When it finally left the water it flew towards me and I could see it had captured a pretty good meal! It is a little tricky spotting the fish from the iPhone video but I would guess it was well over a foot long.
Rising
Another atmospheric painting in progress. This painting is 16″x16″.
Winter’s Tree
This painting is a work in progress. As the trees are growing leaves around me I am getting around to a winter tree image I have had in mind for a while!
This is a 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
Signed and Varnished
Here is a collection I have finally put the finishing touches on! The small ones are 10″x10″ and the larger ones are 16″x16″. Always interesting to group paintings together and see how they get along.
Down in the valley
This is a landscape painting I have mostly finished at this point. It is another 16″x16″ acrylic painting.
Shoreline
This is a loose and simple painting I recently completed. It is a 16″x16″ acrylic inspired by the waterways of the Pacific Northwest!
Rolling Along
I am growing fond of working on paintings that are 16″x16″, a great size. It allows you enough room for brush freedom and loose work while being small enough that it is easy to manage.
This painting is still a work in progress.
