Thanks and yes I've sold a few and give some as gifts to family and friends. I have always played in some sort of paint and also made a living doing commercial art - from business cards to billboards. The paint cans in the image are in my little Sign Shop.

About ten years ago I discovered "Professional Grade Watercolors" by accident and explored different ideas with them for a while. Some of the paintings on my site reflect the early stages. A couple of years ago, I decided to combine two of my favorite passions, wildlife and painting. The Wildlife and Wild Horses sections are my most recent works.

The more I played with "realism" the more I liked doing that style. As more people saw what I was doing, the more encouragement I got and have been getting more serious about pursuing that avenue. I hope to start working on some wildlife rescue fund raising projects in the near future and also try to get into some different galleries around the country in time. In fact, I will be taking a few paintings to the Airport / Adventure Gallery (in the Dallas Love Field Airport) next week. This will be my first gallery to show in, so wish me luck :)

I'll attach one that's not on my site yet . . . still on the easel :)

Thanks again for the kind words everyone . . . and help'n me ID that monster critter that was in my shop ;) Wow Sweezel, after checking that link, looks like that must have been a youngster that I found huh? lol
