Does anybody on this platform buy art? I hear the users are more cultured and supportive of artist? Anyway, this is up for sale. It’s called Bear Butts.

I made a frame for this coyote Portrait. We feel she’s our special friend because she escorts us through her territory. I wanted to capture her sweetness and her wildness simmering just underneath. #wildlifeart #oilpainting #coyote

I worked on this a bit and am making a fancy frame. #oilpainting #art

I met these guys in Marin County on a road trip. I thought they would make great painting subjects. So here’s the painting. Message me if you’re interested in having this in your corral. #OilPainting #originalart #supportartist #CowPainting

Some of you might not know, i’m not just a painter and sex symbol, but also a tattoo artist. I’ve been tattooing for over 30 years. I’ll be tattooing in San Diego at this convention. If you’re anywhere near, come by and say hi.

The Northern Flicker is a medium-sized woodpecker found across North America, known for its distinctive spotted plumage and undulating flight. This painting is almost done. It just needs to dry enough for varnish. It has a nice black round frame to go with it. #Wildlifeart #northernflicker #art

It’s bunny season. I’m seeing more desert cottontails in the park now. Or, could it be Easter Bunnies getting ready to lay some colorful eggs?

Made frame for this. It’s now ready to hang in your man cave, or wherever you would like an elk painting to view. #elk #art #oilpainting #suportartists

Part of my painting process is to do under coats in a very limited pallet. In this case burnt umber and white. I use my own photo references, and this case I collage a redwood forest background I took near where I saw the elk. If you like this, I will post progress shots.

Here are some flower paintings to warm us up. I started painting flowers during the pandemic. I went on daily walks and would take pictures with my phone. It has blossomed into me being a full fledged wildlife artist.

When it foggy out, the hawks lie low, and are easy to get photos of.

Even though I’m in the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, I can still find wildlife to take pictures of. Carrying a camera around makes me look around much more and get out of my head. Here are a few pictures from the last week.
