These two paintings were just varnished. Some final studio photography!

Experimental Crow
This is an older piece. An experiment in texture, color and paint application. The results were interesting but chaotic.
Jet Stream Shadow
Lake Pend Oreille
I was fortunate enough to spend a bit of time at the lake yesterday evening. The reflections were hypnotic!

This is an older painting, when blackbirds were a bit of a series. Once again I was building up heavy textured imagery.
Roam
This is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting. I think I am pretty much finished with this particular painting. Minimalist landscape painting is intriguing to me, I hope to do a lot more work along these lines.

Know Your Place
This is an especially contemporary acrylic painting for me. I was experimenting with materials and ideas with no clear destination.
I won’t lead the viewer, I had a lot of ideas when painting and composing this image. Now looking at the finished piece I have other ideas. What does this painting say to you?
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.
