This will be my second cover for the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. A nice feather in my cap. If I were a cat, it would be a nice fat mouse:)

Who Rescued Whom
Read MoreBlue Crab
Dimensions: 29x19"; Medium: Colored Pencil on Mat Board. This is my daughter, on the bay side of Perdido Key, Pensacola Florida. The references were taken last Christmas. Unusual to use a winter beach scene, don't you think? With so much blue, I came close to cropping out most of the water, but decided to stick with the original. I like the negative space. It adds to the story.

This is "Rude," pronounced Rudy. He belonged to a veterinarian for whom I worked many years. The little 8 x10"painting was a thank you gift for allowing me to advertise my work in the office. The piece was later chosen to be the cover of JAVMA (Journal for the American Veterinary Medical Association.) One of my more popular images, I have sold many Rude 
prints.

I am very proud to announce, Who Rescued Whom is accepted into the prestigious 26th International Exhibition on Animals in Art, LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, Baton Rouge LA. Out of 426 pieces entered into this show, 75 were chosen. This is one of my favorite paintings. The lighting, the subject and a hefty sprinkle of luck came together to create this image.
Wish Willy and Tucker luck on their trip to Louisiana!
Getting started is difficult.
I spent weeks procrastinating over what to do next. Getting started is so hard. It's the commitment. Will all those hours pan out? This portrait is for me.
