The Yorkshire terriers are finished: "Harley", "Walker" and "Scooter". They are all 5"x7" acrylic on 140 lb. watercolor paper. I have changed the background so that it is less distracting and so that the dogs stand out more.

"Walker" is still in progress. His eyes are a little crazy looking. Maybe I should have completed them first. Some days, paintings go very smoothly. This one has been a struggle. Some days are like that.

Clothes Closet Poster: November 7-9, 2008
This is a poster that I designed and created for the Clothes Closet in Stevensville, Montana. The Clothes Closet is a nonprofit organization that provides clothing and household goods to those in need. They were providing this much needed service from a rent-free building but recently had to move out. They now must raise funds to pay for a new location.

Glacier Runner (progress): July 1, 2008
I'm finally back to painting! This is a commissioned piece of a trail runner in Glacier National Park. "Glacier Runner" will be a 22"x28" oil painting on canvas. The drawing was done on a neutral-colored underpainting after several layers of gesso were applied to the canvas.I'm also showing an image of our new cat helping me do the drawing for this painting. We got him at the Missoula
Humane Society which has a very nice facility and a knowledgeable staff. He's very different in looks and personality. I'm thinking he is an oriental shorthair. Someday I'll have to do a painting of him.
