Local Fisherman

I'll have to re-photograph this painting tomorrow in the sunshine to get the colors right but it was fun to slop on paint with the palette knife.  This one is all about texture.

Robin in Elderberry

Here's a sketchbook entry, the birds are saying summer is here.

Brown's Barn

My brother and I went down to the Nisqually Refuge a few mornings ago.  The low lying cloud cover didn't lift until about the time we left but the thimble berry blooms provided a bright spot in this view of the old barn.... perfect for a limited palette study.  

Master Gardener

This is a painting I did a while back of my niece Milissa, I'm posting it in honor of her high school graduation today.  If it's true that you reap what you sow, she's had a pretty good harvest so far.  :)

Swimmer

Here's my niece in her element.  A seemingly mild mannered '08 Peninsula HS grad, she's a wicked water polo player.

Spring Meadow

It's been a wild spring but the stormy, cool weather can't keep the flowers at bay.
