 This nicely framed painting of trilliums that I did some years ago now is owned by my son and his family and hangs at their house.

                                             Meet Ethan, who lived a great life with my son and his family. I did this portrait of him from a photo after he had passed. It was a labor of love, for me, and especially because it was turning out more or less the way I envisioned it. It now is owned by my son and family, and hangs in their home. It was executed in oil on canvas, and they put the nice frame on the painting.


Not realizing where I was, I just downloaded these two paintings onto Stone Raven Studio instead of here. Anyway, this is a painting  now owned by my son and displayed in his home. I painted this some time ago. It is a fox done in acrylic on panel. He framed it nicely, and I am so pleased he and his family like it. 


These are typical  colors for houses out west here. Not sure what the medium or surface is, but the scene is also typical for the foothills here.

    This painting is acrylic on canvas.



 This post is dedicated to owls and sandhill cranes. I like to call the second painting: “Bird Watcher”. One is acrylic on canvas, and the other is acrylic on panel. The owl stands watch in our kitchen. 



                                       I believe these two paintings are of structures (one is obviously a church) I photographed while on a trip to Spain several years ago. I guess they are both probably acrylic on paper.



 The top drawing is from a photo I took while on a trip to China. The bottom is from a session of the Columbus Urban Sketchers, and is a mansion in a park in Columbus.
