Connie the Steller's Jay

Oil on linen on panel, 8 x 10 inches -- Sold

This is a painting I did as a demo during the Celebration of Western & Wildlife Art Show & Auction last weekend in Puyallup, WA. It was sold at the live auction in the evening. This is based on a photo I took of a young Steller's Jay we rescued after falling out of the nest. We named her Connie, and took care of her until she grew up and started flying around the backyard, while coming back to the house to sleep in the living room at night. It was so much fun to see her around. One day, she never came home for the night. We don't know exactly what happened to her. We sure miss her.

Morning Rendezvous

Oil on panel, 10" x 8" -- SOLD

This horse belongs to my friend in Ellensburg, WA. I visited her horses one morning, and took some reference photos of her animals. Isn't he such a good looking horse? I kind of liked the effect of exaggerated perspective.

This is another portrait of our rooster, Matsu. His body is basically black, but it has very pretty green sheen depending on lighting.

"Sweet Ellensburg" at Paint Ellensburg

On September 19th, I participated in the event called, Paint Ellensburg, hosted by Gallery One. I did an oil painting of an African Grey Parrot on a bench (10"x8") in one day. First I did a plein air painting (outdoor painting) of the purple bench on Perl Street, then I did a life painting of Sweets the African Grey inside the studio of her owners, across from that bench. This painting, "Sweet Ellensburg," was sold at the live auction in the same evening.
