I picked up my name tag from the trophy store today. It really completes my painting.

Wine Sommelier…
I am almost finished with “Wine Sommelier.” It is acrylic and mixed media on 48″x48″ gallery wrapped canvas. Last night I added metal buttons with heavy body acrylic paint as the binder. Last week I ordered a name tag with “Pierre” on it from the local trophy store. Once this is done I’ll attach it....
FREE RANGE CHICKEN…
I finished my latest painting titled “Free Range Chicken.” It is acrylic on 60″x48″ gallery wrapped canvas. The 1960 Dodge pickup in the painting is owned by my wife’s cousin Brian Rolston from Forsyth, Montana. Most of my paintings use my aunt Barb Rolston’s Triangle Ranch and Castle Butte as their backdrop. My father-in-law Alan...
Coq au Vin…
I think I am finished with my latest painting titled “Coq au Vin.” It is acrylic and mixed media on 48″x72″ gallery wrapped canvas.

The sculpted bull’s head was made layering an acrylic binder called stucco. The lasso rope was made using some clothes...
IN A STEW…
Recently I finished my latest painting titled “In A Stew.” It is acrylic on a 48″x48″ plywood canvas made to look like a gallery wrapped cotton canvas with a depth of 1.5″. Cans are attached to painting. Before I could start this painting though, I had to paint “Chicken Soup,” which measures 24″x30.” ...
RADIOLOGICAL TEST RANGE…
In late July 2011 I documented an ARMY exercise at the Radiological Test Range at the Idaho National Laboratory. From what I understand, it is the second time in the Army’s history that they trained with an actual radiological hazard. ARMY personnel and INL employees had to don PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) and wear dosimeters to...
2011 Eastern Idaho State Fair…
I’ve lived in Idaho Falls, Idaho for almost 12 years now. I have judged the photography contest at the Eastern Idaho State Fair twice, but have never entered. This year I am entering the fair; both in photography and painting. In the photography competition one can submit up to 15 pictures. I’ve decided to get...
