I hear that "ice out" has finally happened in Rangeley, Maine!  Headed back up there soon.  Can't wait!

Since winter is pretty much over in Maine now and I'll soon be headed up north with the herons, I thought I'd do a painting of one of my favorites, the Great Blue Heron.  The heron will be available in the Store soon along with the Snowy Owl and the Passion Flower paintings that I recently posted.  Hope you like them.  

     My last note was in early January.  Seems like a long time ago.  I had to put a hold on most activity (including painting and shows) during the winter but I’m now happy to report that my recovery from back surgery is going well.  I just started working again and wanted to share a few new paintings that I recently completed and to let you know that I will be back on the road doing craft and art shows this summer.   One is of a snowy owl that a friend and I saw on a drive in Massachusetts in January.  There was a report that a number of snowy owls were up on the north shore and so we headed up there to see them.  Fortunately, a very nice photographer was also there tracking them and shared a few of her photos with me that I used for the painting.  I will be printing this image and a painting of a passion flower to represent the spring.  They will be available at upcoming shows and online soon.

     I am also working on new bird and fish paintings.  Check the Products section for new images available on Table Savers, Placemats and Coasters and the Shows section for summer and fall shows scheduled so far.   It will be good to be back.  Hope to see you at one of the shows.
