  • Lil Mouse

    Lil Mouse

    Douglas Adam’s makes the claim that the mouse is the most intelligent species on Earth in the modern classic, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. “These creatures you call mice, you see, they are not quite as they appear. They are merely the protrusion into our dimension of vastly hyperintelligent pan dimensional beings.” Sometimes when a mouse is running…

  • The Debonair Goldfish

    The Debonair Goldfish

    Goldfish are simply lovely. I started painting this one as I worked on a commission of a fish a few months back. I started looking up domesticated fish and was once again surprised by their beauty, and I realized I might sometimes take them for granted. I mean just take  a moment to look at…

    Florida Gal

    This piece went to it’s forever home this past week. It was painted for a Florida gal who loves Manatee’s. The work represents that love for those well loved creatures.

  • The Painted Turtle 2

    The Painted Turtle 2

They have such an interesting smooth vs. wrinkle, bright orange/yellow vs, dark gray/green thing going on, and they are super cute to boot😍 Anyway you may have noticed this is my second painted turtle in recent months, the first…

  • The Sweet Monarch of the Plains

    The Sweet Monarch of the Plains

    The American Bison is such a keystone species. It is hard to imagine there was a time when they were almost wiped out. When I went through Yellowstone there were so many it seemed that they ruled the park. I was riding through on my motorcycle, considering the sheer audacity of a two wheeled object…

The pollen and fragrant forest scents floats on the breeze, bringing with them a happy hive of activity as the critters start moving about. The skunk considers his next snack as he…
