Fall Updates

Great Horned Owl sketch - 4" x 6" watercolor

Life has sure been crazy the last few months so I apologize to my readers for not keeping up with my posts. Sometimes life just gets in the way of our best intentions and the best we can do is ride out the storms. I had great plans to accomplish a lot of painting during the summer months, but other obligations kept me from my art. I am slowly working my way back into it and hope to be painting more regularly again soon.

I am happy to announce that I am now a member of an online gallery called Daily Paintworks. Unlike Etsy which offers handmade items, vintage items and fine art, this site offers only 2D original fine art and many members paint and post their work daily. I have a personal gallery there where I can include several of my artworks for sale in one place and it integrates with my blog so someone visiting my gallery can also read more about a painting they may be interested in. Because they have a large online presence I can gain more exposure for my work besides just having a blog or website.

I am happy about the possibilities with being involved with Daily Paintworks and invite you to check out their site at 
My personal gallery there is:
I will be adding many of my pieces there over the next few weeks as time permits and I invite you to visit often to see what's new. One of the features of membership here is being able to offer my paintings in an online auction and I will be setting those up in the next few weeks as well. This would be a good opportunity to purchase a unique gift for the holidays.

The first painting up for auction will be this watercolor sketch of a Great Horned Owl.

I hope you will give my new gallery a look!
