Finished these two commissioned pet portraits for Katie in California (with 3 more to go!). 

     

This is "Beatrice in the window" According to her owner this is her favorite spot to sit!
And this beautiful Standard Poodle is "Greta". Katie captured this shot of her in the snow with the wind blowing. Beautiful!

I have been honored with acceptance into the 7th annual Scottsdale Fine Art Expo in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Fine Art Expo is put on by Thunderbird Artists and is a 44,000 sq. ft. facility that houses the artworks of a 100 artists from around the country. It is set up as a "working studio" where each artist has their own "gallery" of artworks for the public viewing, but also use their space as a studio so patrons are able to see and interact with the artists as they are creating! The expo runs from January 20, 2011 to April 3rd, 2011. Please come by and see me in action! Check out their website:

I have also juried into the Cattlemens Western Art Show and Sale in Paso Robles, California which runs from April 8 to 10th, 2011.
