Cowboys

Finally, We are going to be making the "Cowboys" book, I spoke with my publisher yesterday and the book is a go. I might post a few of the images here as long as I don 't give anything away. This image might be in the book, not sure yet, it is one I did to pitch the book and get the juices flowing. This book will be a follow up to "Pirates" and I am really looking forward to the paintings.

A new poster for Friends of the Teton River.

This is a poster that I do every year for this organization, I am a board member and believe in what they do, clean water healthy streams and abundant fisheries. I always enjoy designing it and

appreciate the opportunity to be involved. I hope you like it. If your in the area on July 10th, this is a great party in a beautiful place for a great cause.

The Pirate King finished

A las matie, I finished the Pirate King, I added a beard to this guy at some of your suggestions and made his nose a bit more pirate like. I finally feel like it is finished. I don't know why but I love painting Pirates. I have a few new ideas for new paintings and will post them when I get them sketched. for now, this will have to suffice.

A Sketch from a new project

This is a sketch from a project that I am working on, I am becoming obsessed with the subject matter and am chomping at the bit to get this one under way, I have a couple of publishers looking at it, no takers yet. I think these guys were not that different from us and were more advanced in many ways than we think they were.

More Fly Paintings

Here are some more fly paintings, these I did for a fellow who wanted typical flies used on the Henry's Fork of the Snake river, I've used all three and they work to catch big fish. They will also be available as prints. They are fun to paint, quick and simple a good exercise to keep sharp on technique and mark making.

Three Flies image

I was going through some old files on my computer, sort of spring cleaning and came across these images. I painted them quite a while ago but I like the looseness of the paint and the spontaneity of the marks. I sold a few of them many years ago and I think I will resurrect them as a print and do some more to go with them, hope you like them too.

Latter Day Profiles interview

I recently did an interview with Brian Howard who hosts a TV program called Latter Day Profiles, it was aired on BYUTV at different times of the day, I was pretty nervous and a bit fidgety (as my son pointed out) but all in all I think I did ok for never having been on TV.

If you want to see the interview you can take a look on this link, you have to scroll down and select the one with me to watch it. It's kind of weird seeing yourself on the tube, I'm not the person I see in the mirror, I'm sure I have more hair than that, and I talk different than I thought, at least I didn't say anything stupid or stumble too much over my words. have a look and let me know if I should be in disguise to hide my shame, or not.
