Harvest Season

I've been working on some small paintings for the upcoming Russell Museum Miniature Show and the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center Show, all of which were due today. BUT - we've been snowed in for the last four days (at the end of April no less!!) so the paintings won't be delivered until next week. Anyhooo, this is a piece done from pictures I took on a paint out near Great Falls. I was attracted to the graphic design of this scene and loved the way the line of the brush moved your eye around the image. This painting is 12" x 12".

Debi's Cat

I've been intending to get pictures of the paintings I'm working on this week, but am not "there yet". I'm fighting the crummy boards I've been painting on. (The lesson is "Use Good Materials!") So, I thought I would post a cat painting a friend of mine did, as my last post was a painting I did of my cat Possum. It's always fun for me to see how different people approach a similar subject.

This painting was done by my friend Debi Schmit. We have a long history. She's one of my horse friends, my camping friend and my artist friend. We've raised kids together and shared many adventures! I love this painting of Debi's and thought you would too.
