My family and I were invited to attend the War Bonnet Roundup in Idaho Falls, ID in 2014.  I was lucky enough to get a press pass to go behind the scenes and take pictures of the livestock.  I find it amazing that these placid animals laying around or milling about would become bucking and twisting mountains of muscle trying to get a cowboy off their backs.

This painting is 7 x 5 oil on canvas board.  I put it up for auction on Daily Paintworks.  Click Here to Bid

While I was visiting Nevada City, Montana, I saw this cute little guy under a sign (I know up close it looks like a drain). Nevada City is an old mining ghost town that has been turned into an outdoor historical museum. He was just one of the many that was flitting about. Click Here to Buy.
The painting I created is Home Under the Sign. The size is 6 x 6.

I saw the Explore Your Garden painting challenge in DPW and remembered the perfect reference. I took many photos when my family and I went to Nevada City, Montana. Nevada City was an old mining ghost town that has been turned into an outdoor historical museum. As we explored the attraction, finches fluttered about. One of the cute little guys landed on a wooden garden fence and I could not help but take his picture with the intent of painting him

I painted him in oil on a 5 x 7 canvas board. He is up for auction on Daily Paintworks. Click Here to Bid
