Tiger Cub

Another big cat! It seems I can't get enough of these guy's. Sorry there are no wip's, I just finished this for the Labor Day Show at Decoy's and Wildlife in Frenchtown New Jersey.I think he's catching a few more rays before the Summer's over.

Young Lion

Here's the finished painting.It's for the Small Works Show in Frenchtown NJ this weekend. It's based on a previous sketch of a lion that I saw while on safari in Botswana. It brings back very fond memories because it was the first lion I encountered in the wild.

In this painting I've skipped the very beginning stages but you can see how the background and foreground are blocked in. The lion is almost there. I'm working mostly on the front legs but also small details all over the cat. I've lightly drawn in some grasses with a white charcoal pencil as well.

Peregrine Falcon Portrait

This is a study for a larger painting I intend to do. I have a few friends that are falconer's and they let me observe their bird's up close which is a real treat.

Tiger Cub Portrait

I just finished this portrait for the Decoys and Wildlife Show this weekend in Frenchtown NJ. I'm sorry there are no wips, I basically just found out about the show last week. I started it 3 days ago and just finished in time to deliver it. Despite the short deadline I'll never get tired of painting these guy's.

House Sparrow and Roses

I know I skipped a few steps but I thought it was getting tedious. I basically finished the foreground and finally added the rose which I was really looking forward to paint. That being said,I'm calling this done.

I'm still gradually building forward in the foreground. I also enjoy painting the light on top of and coming through the leaves.
