Paintings of Montana

11"X14" Pastel painting of two young fox playing.

I took photos of a den of young fox playing near Helena, Mt. After combining elements from two or three of the photos, I created this pastel painting of two the fox. The little female was emerging from the den, wondering, "Now where's that brother of mine!?" He was waiting for her, and he's about to pounce!

This painting will be exhibited on two online shows this summer, the WWAO "Summer" theme exhibit and the Canine Art Guild, "Dogs Just Want to Have Fun" exhibit.

This painting can be seen in a larger view, and purchased with Pay Pal here.

Photos of Montana

Photo taken above Swift Dam Reservoir, Montana.

I was staying at my cousin's house at Swift Dam, (just west of Dupuyer) when I decided to get up early one morning and hike up the trail head into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. I'd spotted an old tree the day before, and wanted to frame the sun coming up in it's branches. I climbed the trail about 5 am, watching for grizzlies all the way. My cousin's dogs were with me, so I felt pretty safe, those dogs are a good warning system!

As the sun rose, I positioned myself and my camera and waited......

Quotes about Montana

Of all the memorable views, the best have been framed by Montana windows.

Welcome to my Studio!

My studio sits in the horse pasture where Pedro, our donkey lives. He's a good subject and a good donkey! He comes up to the studio door when he wants a visit or a pellet.

He won't hold still when I try to paint him, but I take a lot of photos of him and work from them. When my horse Class is home, she visits me in the doorway. When I take a break from painting, they're right there close to me!
