"Spouting Off"

"Spouting Off" oil on canvas board 8"x10", price $245.00

Really the main reason I have a rooster is because they are cool looking, and maybe if he does his job, he could do half of what it takes to make baby chicks. I think it would be really cool to have one of my 6 hens decide to hatch some eggs. The first rooster we had given to us was very beautiful but also very large, loud, and mean (see below). This guy (above) was given to us (I am amazed, well not really, how many people would love to give away their rooster) we do like that his crow is quiet enough that it does not wake us up at 4 in the morning. He is actually smaller than all our hens, so I don't think he can even do what roosters really want to do. He is getting mean, and attacks me alot, and he gets kicked whenever he comes and tries to get me. I wish I could get a hold of a big beautiful, quiet and sweet rooster, if that were possible. See my paintworks gallery for info on purchasing the painting.

"Ready for Fishin' " watercolor  8x10"  $195.00

I really enjoy fishing. I usually like to fly-fish, and my favorite is wading streams and creeks. A few years ago, I was at an art show in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We stopped at a lake on the way home, and as I walked around taking reference photos, I found this old boat secured to the weathered dock. I really liked the colors, reflections, and the idea of going out fishing from this old boat. I've always wanted to paint this simple boat, so finally here it is. I also gave you here on my blog, a bit of a free demo of how I painted this work. I will have a video available of it soon.
