TWO NEW PAINTINGS…
Recently I finished two paintings despite turkey travel, my 11-day YAMAHA photography shoot and our holiday joy ! “Cock & Bull Story” is my largest painting to date at 48″x72″. Much fun to work on. 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...

POPPY FLOWERS…
My mother-in-law asked me to take a picture of her poppy flowers. She wanted an 8×10 print for one of her guest bedrooms. The crop was on its last leg and did not look fresh so I had to move in close to hide the wilting and decay. Overalls just did not look right. Towards...
TRIANGLE RANCH, FORSYTH, MONTANA…
After camping at Ennis, Montana, we headed for an educational tour of Lewis and Clark Caverns near Three Forks and then headed to Billings to drop off the younger kids. My nephew Kadrian accompanied me to Forsyth to visit Aunt Barb’s ranch. The Triangle Ranch is located just a couple miles north and west of...
