Real Life or a Painting?

I was at an outdoor art show the other day and was displaying some of my recent work.  The artists were all sitting down to lunch when a Mountain Bluebird came and perched on my cedar painting.  We were all laughing that the bird had thought it was a tree.  

Progression of Three Paintings

Here are some pictures of two different paintings in progress.  I enjoy taking pictures along the way.  When I paint a commissioned painting I often send the customer some of the "work in progress" pieces when the painting is finished.

Redneck Cabin Art

Since moving to Sundre, Alberta, I have been finding humour and colour in the culture here.  Wild animals make themselves at home right in the town.  I have started a collection of Cabin Art that brings laughter and joy into whatever room the painting is hung.

Currently I'm working on three new pieces to add to the five that are already completed.  I will never stop painting birch trees or mountains, but these provide a nice break and burst of creativity that I need sometimes.
