Off to the Stampede

Three of my paintings are headed off to the Calgary Stampede. Just finished boxing them up and a great friend is dropping them off to the Western Art Salon.

It is the wild west...and the buffalo are roaming with the pheasants and the lynx....mmmm....might not make sense but thats wildlife for you.  Watch for these three paintings if you in the Art section at the Stampede....Yippee Ki Iii Aaaaa

Teaching how to create natural textures

Well this weekend Saturday June 13,  I will be at Opus Art Store in Kelowna sharing how I create the illusion of the  textures of nature in my paintings. My demo project will be a half finished painting of Killdeer and their chicks.  It is a painting with rocks, sand, dry grass, feathers and wonderful bird feet. That should give us some textures to work with. Hope to see you all there. :)
