Fall Fest is Coming...

Little Creatures, Big Personalities!

What I’ve been working on for Fall Fest

I’ve been having such a good time in the studio lately, painting some of the little creatures I’ve encountered along the way.

Each of these 6 × 6 oil paintings on birch began with my own photographs and sketches. From frogs and toads to turtles, bees, and all sorts of interesting bugs, I’ve been having fun trying to capture the little details and personalities that make each one special.

I’ve always been fascinated by the things we sometimes walk right past without noticing. There’s so much beauty, character, and even a little humor in these tiny creatures!

I’ve been busy getting this collection ready for Fall Fest, and I thought you might enjoy a peek at what’s been happening in my studio.

Sometimes the smallest things make the most interesting subjects!

Well i nearly stepped on this guy i my backyard! I think he was waiting for me to take his picture, sketch and paint him!

This lovely lady appeared while I was at one of my other jobs. She popped up on the porch rail and posed for a good 10 minutes like she knew that I needed her in my collection!
