Gilded Flicker woodpecker

 Here's the next Lake Tahoe area bird I've found to paint...the gilded flicker woodpecker.  So many cool colors in his feathers.

Western Tanager

 I've decided to paint the birds native to the Lake Tahoe area (the little guys who frequent my bird feeder) First up...the Western Tanager... 6x6 oil on wood

Snow melt and pine straw

 We've had a ton of snow since I took this reference photo.  It's been a VERY white Christmas in Tahoe. This painting is 6x6 oil on wood panel

My grizzly

 Another fun one for the Tahoe house.  This one is 24 x 30...trying to paint larger.  

Mom's teacup

 I've submitted another entry in the Daily Paintworks Challenge...this month, paint a keepsake.  My mom loved her teacups, always set and extra one out incase "company" dropped in. I always thought it was a sweet tradition

Coyote kinda day

We have these around...but they're pretty shy.  Such great colors in the fur.

 

Meet Bandon...he divides his time between Hawaii and Park City

 Another golf friend's pooch...love this face.
