DAILY PAINTING 12/11 ~ HOLIDAY MINI SALE

TODAY'S OFFERING:




​​"STARING CONTEST" ~ 6"x6" oil on aluminum ~ $150
The Bengal Tiger is one of those creatures that both fascinates and strikes terror in your heart. We want to think its just an overgrown kitty cat since so many of its movements and antics strike a familiar chord. But the power rippling behind its twitchy whiskers is daunting and to be respected! I had first hand exerience with a tiger just like this. A good friend was once an animal trainer and owned many exotics including a Bengal. One winter we ventured into the nearby Cascades mountains so that the tiger could frolic in the snow. 
That was an experience I will never forget!

DAILY PAINTING 12/9 ~ HOLIDAY MINI SALE

TODAY'S OFFERING:



​"WADING" ~ 3"x5" oil on aluminum with frame ~ $90
One of our most majestic beasts and the iconic symbol of the West is the Bison. In 2016 the Bison was designated the National mammal and along with the Bald Eagle it's an American symbol and shares a great conservation success story. I got a kick out of painting such a wee small painting of such a grand creature. This one comes fully framed and ready to hang or sit in a tableau.   
 *outside measurement of burl wood frame is 6"x8"

DAILY PAINTING 12-8 ~ HOLIDAY MINI SALE

Today's Offering:



"The BackUp Singers"  ~  5"x8" oil on aluminum ~ $150

There's a lot of energy in this piece! I didn't have a title for these battling grizzlies until I finished. The longer I looked the more I saw these guys as backup singers. If you've followed me for long you know that I prefer unusual titles and this would qualify. I also wanted to use atypical colors for a wildlife painting as an experiment. 
​A great gift to the musical person in your life!

DAILY PAINTING 12/7 ~ HOLIDAY MINI SALE

TODAY'S OFFERING:


"BOB ON HIGH" ~ 5"x8" ~ oil on aluminum ~ $150
The Bobcat is the wild animal I grew up with. I would stroke its soft fur, stick my finger in its mouth and stare into it's glassy eyes. This particular bobcat had attacked my dad in his youth and he had to shoot it; so you see it was a taxidermed bobcat. Being an animal lover himself it pained Dad to do so, but he figured it was ill or rabid to behave so. My 4 sibs and I have a few stories and memories that revolve around him, but I think of my dad the most when I recall the Bobcat that lived in our basement.

"HIGH AND LOW" ~ 6"x6" oil on aluminum ~ $130
I always say that everything in life is about perspective and how you look at things. These 2 cows exemplify this; one has the high view and the other the lower one. Are they seeing things the same or differently? This little gem is a perfect gift for the person who has the ability to see all angles.

Who doesn't like an otter???? The otter is both a comical and endearing creature. Watching them cavort is a spectacle of joy! I have been wanting to paint one for a long time and finally I have. This one I photographed at Northwest Trek, an amazing wildlife park in my state of Washington. I'm still looking to get the perfect resource of otters swimming under water. 
That is the painting I have visions of doing one day! 
A perfect gift for a graceful swimmer in your life, or the life of the party!
 Certain to bring JOY!!!!

​"Primal Pose"

The Mountain Gorilla is an impressive creature! The sheer size and strength of the males, the Silverbacks, ​creates internal shivers of awe. But they are the ones in need of protection being the most endangered species of gorilla. It is astounding to think that we did not even know they existed until 1902 but due to encroachment and poaching their numbers are dwindling at an alarming rate. This painting is precious to me and I wasn't certain I would put it up for sale....but here it is!

​The photo resource was taken by me while studying and observing the gorillas at the fantastic San Diego Zoo.

This is the perfect time of year to celebrate Polar Bears!
They almost seem like mythical beasts to those of us in the lower 49 but they capture the spirit of Christmas so endearingly. I photographed this one while he was searching for treats his keeper had thrown into the pool for him. Being able to observe him not only above, but below the water as he paddled with his enormous paws was breathtaking!
