Spring is a time for growth. New life is born and old life is reawakened. Flora and fauna remember how to live in their environment as things change with the season. Newborn fawns are a common sign of spring in the Northwoods. These mild-mannered critters face many tough challenges as they grow up. I see…

Beavers are the whole package. They are tough, awesome swimmers, incredible architects, and they are cute as all get-out. They swim so fluidly that they almost seem to be floating, but I suspect it takes a lot of strength to look so graceful. This painting has been a peaceful retreat during a rather hectic time.…
