Hi all, Update June 19, 2011; posted June 13, 2011 from Seattle, WA. I'm tired of finishing stuff. (The last thing I finished was Common Loon, which is up in the store under 11 x 14s and 8 x 10s.) It's time to start a slew of...
Updated April 8, 2011 (first posted March 15, 2011 updated March 27, 2011) Common Nighthawks have traditionally found urban habitats very amenable. I thought I'd take the iconic Nighthawks painting by Hopper and use it for the background. I just have to build the buildings up...
Jan 10, 2011. What seems to have been a success in reworking that old long-abandoned flying Eagle painting (it's been selling!) got me interested in other paintings that I was storing closest to the dumpster, and had given up for dead. One is a snow at...
January 24, 2011 I usually don't finish things, just keep dinking around on them. But I'm in a Finishing Frenzy!

Nov. 10, 2010 This is a new finish on Cats of North America. This is available at the Pike Place store in two sizes as of yesterday. I've also been reworking Warblers of the West and I'll put that up soon....
Oct 19, 2010. It's not the standard advice you hear from the art world, but I have always believed in going back to old paintings and reworking them until they are fully resolved however long that takes. I painted on one painting for 19 years...
I'll teach the seminar on obsessively reworking old paintings Nov. 11, 2010 Warblers of the West. I'm deep in this re-paint job but questioning it at the same time--appropriate for this Seasonal Affective Disorder time of year. I fret about things like whether the Colima Warbler...
Tough job ahead on Eagle Nov. 3 , 2010. I started this Eagle in New Mexico in a completely different pose. What a mess there with the fir branch of the bonsai evergreen. Can I bring that foreground into compliance and make the Eagle look a...
