I had to use a screenshot of this to post it here, so the links do not work.

Mimbres Valley; oil on canvas, 16X32 inches. I did this one about 6 years; a pretty straightforward rendering of a nearby landscape.

Lady Hawke; oil on canvas; 36X48 inches. A portrait I did of a Cooper's hawk. She was a rescued and released birdie who showed up on our porch one winter looking for help since her hunting skills were a bit sketchy. I helped out and was able to get some decent reference photos.

This is the one I use most often. It went kind of viral at first, so it's a good intro for me.

(re-posting)Masquerade; oil on canvas; 36X48inches. Stopped working on this one almost a decade ago. Thinking of replacing the planets with a field of nebulae and thousands of stars like some of the more current Webb Telescope images.

An older piece: oil on canvas; 30X40 inches. It is called Secret Place. Inspired by memories of a visit to Petra when I was a kid.

Blue Voyager; oil on canvas 24X36 inches. Flawed, but maybe it's still worth posting. Did this one about 12 years ago.

Thought I'd repost this. I did this one about 30 years ago: The Iron Door; oil on canvas; 24X36 inches. It is an illustration for a made up story that I never had the time, patience or talent to write, so feel free to make up your own.🙂 #Art #Oilpainting

Another antique from about a decade ago. Done the old fashion way: oil on canvas; 36X60 inches. Never did come up with a title that really described what I was trying to depict, so I just called it "Angel".

"The Lady" Metal leaf on clayboard, 12X18 inches. Did this one a zillion years ago.

Reposting this so that I can add hashtags. Titled: Remember Me; oil on canvas, 36X60 inches. Not sure if it's finished or not. #Art #Oilpainting

One of the first images that I posted here. It went pretty much unnoticed; now there's about 10 million more Blueskis here, so I'd like to repost it and see if it does better. It's called Renaissance and is oil on canvas. It's about three years old and measures 12 X 20 inches. #art #oilpainting

An experiment to see if painting in oils on a plastic lid (that I salvaged from the trash)was feasible. Approx. 8 inches in diameter.

From several year ago: a confrontation between two juvenile Rufous Hummingbirds. #birds

Here is an old photo from a visit to the Bosque del Apache bird preserve near Socorro, New Mexico. I am told that this brief display was between a mated pair of cranes, a kind of ritual dance that they do to reenforce the bond between them.

Another hobby: raising caterpillars that I bring indoors to protect them from predators. Here's a series of pics of a Black Swallowtail hatching out of its pupa.

I find that, at my age, painting has become more difficult and less rewarding, so, for now, I am digging through my collection of old stuff to show. This one is called Requiem; oil on canvas, 24X36 inches. I did it about 8 years ago.

It used to be that if you wanted to see decent fantasy/science fiction art you had to go to the bookstore and look at the book covers. I did this one as kind of an homage to those artists and their work. "Hero"; oil on canvas; 11X14 inches.
