WINTER IN THE HIGH COUNTRY

I am putting this painting on today as it is diffinantly winter today. It is snowing and to get much colder, a breeze from the north. BRRRRRR.
This painting done in pen and ink pointillism is titled "Winter In the High Country" and is from a photo of the North Fork of the Shoshone on the way to Yellowstone National Park. A friend took the photo and let me use it. I have always been pretty proud of this painting.

Pencil Art

This is a pencil drawing of two actors in a movie shot here in Cody. I am seriously thinking of starting a Blog on just drawing, Pencil, Colored Pencil, Pen and Ink, Charcoal and Scratchboard. Love working with a pencil, I grew up with a pencil in my hand doodling on whatever I could find. I have talked to lots of artists who are the same. There is some gorgeous pencil pictures out there. The January 2011 issue of Art of the West has a section on pencil. Don't tell me this is not Fine Art. Anyone have a comment.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011

I have been very lazy with this Blog lately and my New Years Resolution is to keep it up better.
It is a very cold snowy day in Cody, Wyoming. We usually don't get the snow and weather other parts do and this is bad enough for me. Maybe 4 inchs on the ground. Very dry powdery stuff.
